His attention to detailed emotions and witty observations shines through tracks like CHRONICALLY CAUTIOUS, which has amassed over 36 million streams on Spotify. The song’s emotional honesty has resonated with fans and earned praise from artists like Dermot Kennedy, Chelsea Cutler, and Russ.
This new single adds to an impressive repertoire, including viral hits like "CHRONICALLY CAUTIOUS" and fan favorites "CINNAMON TWISTS" and "Heaven Again" from his sophomore EP, Catalyst. On"I DON’T WANNA KNOW," Braden explores the fragility of relationships, pairing raw emotion with poetic lyricism. The layered production creates a deeply introspective atmosphere, drawing listeners into its poignant melancholy.
Currently, Braden is sharing his music with fans across North America on the She’s The Girl Tour alongside Games We Play. His live performances bring a sense of vulnerability and connection, as his shows feel like an extension of the deeply personal stories he tells through his music.
Growing up in Oakville, Ontario, songwriting became Braden’s outlet, a way to channel his stress, anxiety, and determination to overcome. Now, with two EPs, NOMAD and Catalyst, under his belt, he’s not just focused on viral moments like "CHRONICALLY CAUTIOUS." For Braden, the real joy comes from the daily act of honing his craft and sharing his songs—and himself—with the world. “It’s all real. None of it’s just made up,” he explains. “Everything I write about is exactly how I feel.”
With "I DON’T WANNA KNOW," Braden invites listeners to sit with the shadows of love and loss, wrapped in a sound that feels both modern and timeless. He’s solidifying his place as an artist to watch, creating music that speaks to the heart and mind in equal measure.
