He is of mixed descent, his father is black and part Cherokee, and his mother is white. He was raised by his single mother, and his family, sometimes homeless, moved around when he was younger from Rossville to Fort Oglethorpe and LaFayette Georgia, finally settling in Red Bank, Tennessee. As a result, he attended many schools, among them Lakeview - Fort Oglethorpe High School in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia where he sang in the choir with Lauren Alaina, the runner - up on season 10 of American Idol. He also attended Red Bank, Ridgeland, and Soddy Daisy High School. Kane grew up listening to country music, but became interested in R&B music in middle school. However, after singing Chris Young 's `` Gettin ' You Home '' in his 11th grade during a school talent show and after winning the contest, he began to perform country music. Brown auditioned on both American Idol and X-Factor after the success of his school friend Lauren Alaina on Idol. He was chosen for X-Factor after an audition in 2013, but left the show when its producers wanted to include him in a boy band, after which he decided to post his cover versions of popular songs online. Music career In 2014, Kane Brown began posting videos of his covers of songs by Brantley Gilbert, Billy Currington, Alan Jackson and other singers on social media. He started to acquire a following through these homemade videos on Facebook ; an early video to gain wider attention was his cover of Lee Brice 's `` I Do n't Dance ''. His cover of George Strait 's `` Check Yes or No '', released on September 30, 2015, went viral and received over seven million views. The number of his followers on Facebook quickly reached over a million, and a clip of a teaser for his own single `` Used to Love You Sober '' released on October 8, 2015 received one million views in under three hours, and reached over 11 million views two weeks later. Brown was initially signed to Zone 4, and Jay Frank was his first manager. Later in 2016 he became managed by Martha Earls. 2014 : Closer EP In 2014, Brown raised funds via crowdfunding site Kickstarter to produce a six - song EP, which he recorded in Nashville at the home studio of Noah Henson, guitarist for Brantley Gilbert.

It reached number two on the Country Digital Songs chart based on just two days of sales, with 38,000 copies sold. The release of the single also pushed his EP Closer up the chart to number 22 on the Top Album Sales chart. A second song, `` Last Minute Late Night '', was released on November 4, 2015, and debuted on the Country Digital Songs chart at number nine, selling 26,000 copies.
