Acclaimed singer-songwriter Brandon Heath hits another milestone in an exploding career as his second single, I’m Not Who I Was, is the No. 1 song in the country this week on R&R’s AC Monitored chart. Off Heath’s debut album Don’t Get Comfortable, the hit song marks the first time in four years that a new artist at Provident Label Group has topped the AC chart.

The phenomenal success of I’m Not Who I Was is due in large part to the uniquely personal way the song connects with audiences. Radio stations across the country are recognizing the special quality inherent in the single, hosting call-in shows allowing listeners inspired by the lyrics to voice their own stories. 

Travis Culver, music director for KTSY in Boise, ID, shares, “Since we started playing Brandon’s song ‘I’m Not Who I Was’, we have received several calls from listeners telling us how this is the soundtrack of their life, and how Jesus has completely transformed them from who they were.”   

“Brandon Heath’s album has got to be one of my all time favourites!” says Aaron Shust. ”I can listen to any track at any time, anywhere and it always feels perfect. I had the privilege to play with him on Bebo Norman’s Dreaming True tour and Brandon is the genuine article: a great musician with a great heart.”   

Brandon Heath has been a respected writer in the Nashville music community for years, collaborating with well-known artists like Bebo Norman, Matt Wertz and Dave Barnes, to name a few. The Nashville native first began writing at age 13 and credits the town’s legendary hotspot for songwriters, the Bluebird Café, as the place he first experienced music that moved him. Heath’s debut album Don’t Get Comfortable has already yielded two hit songs with I’m Not Who I Was and Our God Reigns which garnered a Dove Award nomination for worship song of the year.
