A South Carolina native, Brice was honored last year with the Academy of Country Music’s Song of the Year award for “I Don’t Dance.” In 2012, he was nominated for the CMA’s New Artist of the Year award.
Brice—who wrote his first song as a child and sang in church choirs as a youth—began work as a professional songwriter in 2007. That same year, he signed with Nashville’s Curb Records and co-wrote “More Than a Memory” for Garth Brooks.
“More Than a Memory” went on to become the first single ever to debut at No. 1 on Billboard magazine’s Hot Country Songs chart.
A former Clemson University football player who turns 35 Sept. 25, Brice also has written successful songs for Jason Aldean, Keith Gattis and others. For more on Brice, visit www.leebrice.com.
