Riveting Tidbits of Brantley Gilbert’s Musical Success and All About His Marriage to Amber Cochran
Falling in love with artists such as R.E.M, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and The B-52’s, Brantley Gilbert’s music career has been traced to his teens when he began writing and composing songs.
But despite his passion for music, he did not abandon his studies. After high school, he attended Georgia College and State University where he studied Counselling. He also worked as a counsellor at an elementary school in Georgia.
Brantley Gilbert was forced to seek a serious solace in music after he was involved in a car accident at the age of 19. The accident was somehow his fault as he was driving drunk. Fortunately, he escaped with his life but sustained some serious injuries, including memory loss. This stalled his academic pursuits and the one thing that got him through this period was writing songs.
