For twelve years, Jody McBrayer was one of the four singers that comprised the Christian music powerhouse, Avalon.

Avalon sold over 3.5 million albums, landed twenty-one #1 singles, earned four gold records, took home six Dove Awards and even scored three GRAMMY Award nominations as well as a huge American Music Award win in the “Favorite Artist” category for Contemporary Inspirational Artist.

After an 8 year hiatus, Jody is back doing music, full time. He now travels all over the world as a musical arranger, worship leader and performer. He is 1/3 of the new trio, Cana’s Voice with TaRanda Greene and Doug Anderson. Just recently, Jody signed a new recording contract with StowTown Records giving him the opportunity to record two, new solo projects in addition to his efforts with Cana’s Voice.

This past year, Jody saw a lifelong dream come to fruition with the release of his first Christmas album entitled, “CHRISTMASTIME.” Something that McBrayer has dreamed of doing since he was a young boy. “CHRISTMASTIME” also received excellent reviews from just about every major Christian music publication as well as several mainstream.

Jody has been respected and admired by vocalists and musicians worldwide for his vocal ability. However, over the last several years, he has become known even more so for his unique and life changing testimony as well as the real way he is able to connect with people.
