Kelan Browne reflects on his early exposure to country music and the guidance he received from established artists in the scene.
It came from an early age. My nana used to listen to all the older singers and she spurred me on to do what I do. I remember singing from when I was very young. I started off on a small scale and I’ve slowly built it up. The biggest thing for me has been slowly working my way up the ladder.I toured with Nathan Carter for about six months and he always told me to take my time and the opportunities will come along. He told me not to rush into anything.

I got to see him every night before the gig and we would meet up on days when we were both off. He spent a lot of time guiding me and showing me what to do.For the rest of this year I’m working with a band and we’re doing different dates at The Gleneagle in Killarney.
I just do my own thing and I focus on what I’m doing myself. All the lads are nice and we all get on with each other. There’s enough work for everyone and we’re all busy. There’s no real competition between us. I’m happy to see other people doing well as it’s great for the scene.I’d like to be doing my own thing and doing my own shows, that would be the dream for me. I want to headline my own shows and promote my own sun trips overseas. That would be a great experience for me.
I’m lucky to have met great people who have guided me in the right direction. My manager deals with a lot of the business side of things for me, so I’m not left doing it. Saying that, it’s still a challenge at times. I’m working on new original songs at the moment and I’ll be releasing an album next year. It will be something new.
