Braydin Good and the story behind his new single ‘Honest’

In this insightful interview, I talk with rising Sydney-based artist Braydin Good to discuss his musical journey, the inspiration behind his latest single ‘Honest’, and his experiences playing live in Sydney.  Good’s love for music was ignited at a young age, with his father teaching him to sing and play guitar in early childhood, with Good recording his first song in his dad's friend's studio before he even reached the age of five - although he hopes that recording never sees the light of day! Growing up, he was immersed in a musical household, with his father playing local shows and Good soaking up influences like Matchbox Twenty and John Mayer.  While Goood was passionate about music from a young age, he actually steered away from it a bit during his high school years, instead focussing on his basketball pursuits. However, when the pandemic hit and shut down his sporting activities, Good rediscovered his love for songwriting and guitar. He then began playing open mic nights in the town of Griffith, honing his craft and building up the confidence to perform his own original material.  Good’s songwriting talents emerged with the release of his first single, ‘She Ain't You’, earlier this year. But it's his latest single, ‘Honest’ that really showcases his emotional depth as a lyricist. Written about the aftermath of a break-up (and produced by Alex Mather), Good poured his heart into the track, delivering a vocal performance that is both vulnerable and powerful. When discussing the recording process, Good reveals that it only took a few takes to capture the raw emotion he wanted to convey. As an artist, he finds it easy to reconnect with those feelings when performing the song live, knowing he's telling his own story rather than someone else's.  We also talk about one of Good’s favourite venues to play: The Beer Shed in Sydney, which he praises for its supportive and attentive country music crowds, as the listening-room atmosphere allows the music to truly shine.  As Good looks to the future, he's already hard at work on new music, with plans to release another single later this year. In the meantime, he’s playing regularly around Sydney so audiences will find him there.
