Brad Cox

Brad Cox is one of Australia’s most compelling country voices — a singer-songwriter born and raised in Jindabyne, New South Wales, whose music is forged from the raw material of a life richly lived. After years chasing cattle across the Northern Territory, working red-dirt stations and playing cover gigs at rodeos and remote pubs, Brad Cox set out to write the story of his world in song.

In 2018, he won the prestigious Toyota Star Maker award at the Tamworth Country Music Festival — a competition that launched the careers of Lee Kernaghan and Keith Urban — and released his self-titled debut album to 14.8 million worldwide streams. His 2020 follow-up, My Mind’s Projection (Sony Music Australia), debuted at #12 on the ARIA Charts and featured back-to-back #1 country radio singles ‘Give Me Tonight’ and ‘Drinking Season’.

In 2023, his third album Acres peaked at #7 on the ARIA Charts and won Highest Selling Album at the Queensland Music Awards, earning Cox Male Artist of the Year and Contemporary Country Album of the Year at the 2024 Country Music Channel Awards.

Now signed to Warner Music Australia, Brad Cox returns to Nashville for CMA Fest 2026 to showcase his fourth studio album, Endemic Intelligence in Multiple Dimensions (September 2025) — a bold artistic leap deepening his connection to classic American sounds while pushing into new territory.
