Jody McBrayer (born June 25, 1970) is an American singer/songwriter and a member of Christian pop groups Cana’s Voice and Avalon.
McBrayer attended college at Liberty University. He got his start in contemporary Christian music right out of college in 1992 as a member of the vocal group Truth.
McBrayer stepped away from Avalon and the music industry in 2007 after his personal life began to unravel and he was diagnosed with a degenerative heart condition.
During that hiatus, McBrayer sensed that God could still use his music to do substantial things for the Cause of Christ if only he would take steps in that direction. McBrayer wrestled with an intense desire to jumpstart his music career but had no opportunities to do so. After a few years of struggling with finding his identity, He fell into a deep depression and was forced to seek counsel in order to continue just functioning in his everyday life. His physician, a Christian, advised him to get up every morning, to keep breathing and most of all, to thank God for every breath in his lungs. For nearly two years, McBrayer followed that advice and tried his best to keep some sense of perspective.
True to form, God began to bless Jody’s persistence. In early 2014, he found himself discussing new possibilities with StowTown Records co-owners Landon Beene and Ernie Haase about recording Keep Breathing.
