About this episode

Sid talks to BRELAND about his musical journey and collaborations.

Daniel Gerard Breland, better known simply as BRELAND, grew up as the son of ordained ministers in a household deeply rooted in music and faith. As a student at the prestigious Peddie School and then at Georgetown University, he began exploring a wide range of musical genres including country, hip-hop, and R&B. He gained widespread attention in 2019 with the viral hit “My Truck,” and continued to push musical boundaries with his 2022 debut album, Cross Country. Sid talks to Breland about his recent reimagining of 50 Cent’s “In Da Club,” his commitment to supporting at-risk youth, his high-profile collaborations with country stars like Thomas Rhett and Shania Twain, and how his music career has taken him from one adopted Southern hometown to another.
