How did Kane Brown become famous?
Kane Brown has been performing since he was a child. In fact, he almost won his school’s 11th-grade talent show. He went to school alongside Lauren Alaina of American Idol fame, leading him to also audition for the music competition series as well as The X Factor.
However, he was rejected from Idol when he was told, “We don’t need another Scotty McCreery,” according to the singer.
The X Factor accepted him, but Brown decided to leave the show when they wanted him to join a boy band. Brown decided to take his career into his own hands and began posting his own covers online. As his videos earned views, he moved into posting his own originals too, including 2014’s “Don’t Get City on Me.” As Brown’s videos began to receive millions of views and he himself racked up over a million subscribers, the budding star was signed by a manager. It was through this viral success that Brown first earned his fame and sparked his career.
Brown then released his own six-song EP Closer in 2014, which debuted at No. 22 on the Top Country Albums chart. The following year, he released the single “Used to Love You Sober,” which earned him the attention of several record labels, with the singer eventually singing with RCA Nashville. He released the EP Chapter 1 in March of 2016 with his new label, including the singles "Used to Love You Sober" and "Last Minute Late Night." The album debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 as well as at No. 3 on the Top Country Albums chart, selling around 30,000 first week. Brown had officially gone from viral sensation to successful country artist.

How far did Kane Brown go on The Voice?
Kane Brown actually never auditioned for music competition series The Voice, though he did audition for both American Idol and The X Factor before he was famous. However, a clause in a contract he had signed prevented him from trying out for the NBC reality TV show.
Brown told Parade.com, “I always wanted to go on The Voice and try out for Blake [Shelton]. I think I said that on the show. I always wanted to go and sing ‘Old Red’ in front of Blake and see if I could get him to turn around. And then, it was just a full circle moment getting to come and be his advisor.”
Brown appeared in 2020 as an advisor on the series to Team Blake Shelton, which viewers thought was a bit odd as the singer had collaborated with Shelton’s fellow judge, John Legend, on the song “Last Time I Said Sorry,” earlier that year.
However, Brown had nothing but great things to say about Shelton. “I knew Blake, but me and Blake never really had a chance to hang out. He lives in Oklahoma. When you’re touring, you don't really get to know a lot of artists unless you go on tour with them. So, I never really got the chance to, but when I got here, he was so welcoming, super funny, and the cast was just talking about how they love working with him. I've always listened to his music. I used to cover his songs before I got in the industry, and he’s just a really great dude.”
Brown also had praise for reality TV music competition shows in general. “There have been a lot of people who have gotten great success off [these types of shows]. It’s a platform for just getting recognized. Even if you don't make it far, if you get on national television, it gets your name out there a lot. So, that was something I tried to do before social media came into play.”
