"Every time I turn on Music Row and realize I get to do this, it's just a dream," Bryan said upon accepting his award. "It's unbelievable to get to do this for a living everyday."
Bryan started out as a songwriter before scoring his own record deal. He wrote 'Good Directions' for Billy Currington and 'Honky Tonk History' for Travis Tritt before releasing his debut album, which has spawned the hits 'All My Friends Say,' 'We Rode in Trucks' and 'Country Man.'
