Brandon Ratcliff has come a long way from growing up in the small town of Cotton Valley, La. Although he was born into a musical family, the singer worked to forge his own path.

Ratcliff released his debut track, "Rules of Breaking Up," in May of 2019. Read on to learn five fast facts about the up-and-coming singer.
