Brett Butler's Musical Journey

Musical Journey

How I got into songwriting... what a long story!!!

Basically I was asked by a fair few people to record some covers of country music, folk music and easy listening tunes... this took a few years but eventually I did it with my cousin while having a jam and a few beers recording on a four track tape recorder. I ended up playing these recorded easy listening songs to my friends (who didn't know it was me) and they said they were really good and that I should do something with recording – so I did.

I've always loved to write poetry and it dawned on me that this was the essence of songwriting... So I wrote a couple of poems/songs and asked a mate if he could put them to music. I had the melody and he worked out the chords. The first song I ever wrote and put to music was called “My Soul”, a heart-felt love song.

Next thing you know that went well and we began recording other home recorded songs with a folk music flavour. My mate Steve and I did up a few draft songs and then Steve was getting really busy in life so that led me to look for someone to work with just to work out chords for music and that sort of thing... BUT what happened was I put out an advert in a few local shopping centres and I only got ONE response...

The person that replied my advert just so happened to own his own mastering studio, had worked with many big name country artists, was a successful songwriter, vocalist and professional guitarist!!!! He heard my music and liked it and asked me to come back... My second meeting with Johnny was when I first recorded "Beautiful Brown Eyes" my first studio song... that is found on this website!

Since then things have bit by bit fallen into place. In mid-November 2006 I began this site so I could get feedback about my songs... these are good quality drafts, but still not studio quality recording including Christian music, folk music, country music and many love songs.

I get a fair few visitors but it’s hard getting people to check it out so if you know anyone that is interested in easy listening music or country music or love songs then by all means send them to my site. : - )

I have nearly completed my debut album NO TRUER FRIEND.
