Brody Ray, now 27 years old is working hard to make his dreams become a reality. The Nashville recording artist has recently released his first EP worldwide with a new Alternative Rock sound that’s full of life and energy. The EP was written and recorded in Nashville, TN by Brody Ray and Ben Flanders. Ever since Brody could remember, music has played a major role in his life. Learning his first strum pattern on the guitar from his mother and taking guitar and cello lessons starting at age 8. These were only some of the things his parents supported him in doing at such a young age. Brody’s life started out different from most. Brody born female, new that his body didn’t match what he felt on the inside, as young as a toddler. Brody’s mother remembers him kicking the back of her seat in the McDonald’s Drive Thru until he got the boy toy in his happy meal, and jumping around in diapers and cowboy boots with a guitar singing at the top of his lungs. As Brody got older his love for music grew as well as his desire to become the man he always felt he was on the inside. He worked towards a music business degree at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, but after 3 and a half years, something hit him and he knew that it was time to make some serious changes in his life if he was ever going to be happy. Brody dropped out with a semester left until graduating and started his transition to male and focusing on making his dreams of being an artist a reality. Brody got the surgeries and hormones he needed to complete the male image he had always seen himself as having. During this process TLC was contacted and they captured some of Brody’s most trying times going through this journey.
