About Me

Bryant hails from the big city of Childress, Texas....Went to college at Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas before moving to Dallas...then in the mid-90's moved to Nashville-to fulfill a crazy life-long dream of being a singer/songwriter/producer. she kicked off her writing career when her first single, Reba McEntire's "Forever Love", hit Number 1; she followed that up with Clay Davidson's Top-5 CMA-nominated Song of the Year- "Unconditional". Keith Urban's version of "Stupid Boy" hit the top of the Billboard charts in 2007-then was up for Song of the Year Award at the 2007 CMA's. "Stupid Boy" was nominated for a Grammy 2008, Won a Grammy for Vocal of the Year 2008 (way to go Keith!). Blake Shelton's single "Don't Make Me" made Billboard's Top 15 Country Hits. Heidi Newfield released "Johnny and June" in 2008 and took it to the top of the charts.Artists who've recorded her songs include: Reba McEntire, Keith Urban, Heidi Newfield, Blake Shelton, Trisha Yearwood, Randy Travis, Terri Clark, Deana Carter, Bucky Covington, and Sarah Buxton among others. SO EXCITED about HEIDI NEWFIELD'S FIVE ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS NOMINATIONS..and one being for the songwriters...Song of the Year "Johnny and June" Songwriters-Heidi Newfield, Deanna Bryant, Stephony Smith Yeehaw! Tune In to the ACM Awards, April 5, 2009, MGM Hotel, Las Vegas, NV!!!!!
