NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Two-time GRAMMY® winner Billy Ray Cyrus is thrilled to announce he will release a new album produced by his son, Braison Cyrus, following more than a year’s worth of writing, recording, and producing this new body of work. The new project, executive produced by Braison, will be released this summer and features all-new songs co-written by both Cyrus’s. The new album, released via Roam Man Productions and distributed by EMPIRE, coincides with Cyrus’s recent partnership with EMPIRE Publishing, the publishing arm of the independent powerhouse record label.
“I’ve spent this past year getting to know my dad better than I ever have. I’ve heard stories, jokes and songs that I don’t think anyone else has. It’s an opportunity to tell my dad’s story through music and I’m fortunate to be able to take it. Music, stories and family are the most important things to my dad so to bring the two together is a full circle endeavor,” Braison Cyrus shared.
“I’m so proud to lean into the music with Braison. This is art imitating life, imitating art. It starts and ends with art. Braison is very talented and 25 is his year. I’m glad to be a part of it. This record is gonna be special. I’m gearing up for what will be the journey of a lifetime,” Billy Ray Cyrus said.
