Initially, they were just going to have him play the song on the guitar instead of a piano. In third grade, he performed for the first time in public by singing in his church. He has stated that his love of country music stems from his maternal grandfather, Warren Jarvis, who gave him his first guitar, a Sears Danelectro Silvertone, and taught him how to play at eight years old. He is the only child of Douglas Edward "Doug" Paisley, who worked for the West Virginia Department of Transportation, and Sandra Jean "Sandy" (née Jarvis) Paisley, a teacher. Paisley was born and raised in Glen Dale, West Virginia. Paisley also wrote songs for Pixar's Cars franchise ("Behind the Clouds", "Find Yourself", "Collision of Worlds" with Robbie Williams, "Nobody's Fool", etc.).
He has also earned country music's crowning achievement, becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Paisley has sold over 11 million albums and has won three Grammy Awards, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards, 14 Country Music Association Awards, and two American Music Awards. He set a new record in 2009 for the most consecutive singles (10) reaching the top spot on that chart.
He has scored 35 Top 10 singles on the US Billboard Country Airplay chart, 20 of which have reached number one. Starting with his 1999 debut album Who Needs Pictures, he has released twelve studio albums and a Christmas compilation on the Arista Nashville label, with all of his albums certified Gold or higher by the RIAA. Bradley Douglas Paisley (born October 28, 1972) is an American country music singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
