Country music artist and star of MTV's The Real World Los Angeles, John Brennan, who briefly called Pikeville home, visited mountaintop media to talk about his career, being back in Pikeville and his new music. I went to Pikeville High School for seventh and eighth grade back in 1986 and 87, moved across the state to Owensboro and that's where I feel like I'm from. From Owensboro, but I'm a Kentuckian so we're blue a lot. And I started singing country music in high school there in Owensboro and then I went to Nashville for college to Belmont University and that's when MTV cast me onto The Real World. I didn't apply to be on there. They said you want to be on this reality show. Of course I said what's a reality show? Brennan is open for country music stars including Alabama and George Jones but he says his music is heavily influenced by his time living in Kentucky. And though he only lived in Pikeville for a few years, he was happy to know that local radio stations played his music longer and louder than anyone. Pike County's rural and I kind of dug into my country roots while I lived here. And then when I moved from here, I was still in Kentucky. So, you know, Kentucky is a hard working blue collar, back breaking type place and so it's country. You can find John Brennan's music everywhere you listen to music.
