Tyler Braden is an American country music singer-songwriter and musician. He was born on February 5, 1993 and comes from Slapout, Alabama. His debut studio album, Devil and a Prayer, came out in 2025.

He competed in the American Song Contest, representing the state of Tennessee with the song "Seventeen", which he wrote himself. His single "God & Guns N' Roses" became his first song to appear on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, reaching number 34. "Devil You Know" earned platinum certification from the RIAA, and "Try Losing One" has passed thirty million streams.

His debut single, "Little Red Wine", was released in 2017. He has toured internationally with Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, Dierks Bentley, Brothers Osborne, Mitchell Tenpenny, Warren Zeiders and Darius Rucker. He was born to Neil and Faith Braden and raised in Slapout, Alabama, attending Holtville High School.

At nineteen he started a rock band called Tempting Fate, later renamed Adamant, and performed locally around Montgomery and other parts of central and southern Alabama for several years. He listened to country music during that period and leaned into that sound when playing solo acoustic shows, having been introduced to the genre by his parents, who sang in bars, restaurants and private parties.

He moved from Slapout to Brentwood, Tennessee at twenty-seven and eventually moved to Nashville to pursue music. Before becoming a full-time musician he worked as a trained firefighter and worked on songs during his breaks.
