Play Dumb

Come Home

Better Days

Leave In The Morning

i'll be damned

let me go

roots

vices

two sides

mishaps

Break You Again

He Hit Her

Can't Let Go

I thought joy was gone.
Sadness pulled me under, and for a long time I couldn’t see a way back.

Then something surprising happened — a spark in a friend’s words, a melody in my head — and I started writing. Not one song, but dozens. Step by step, the heaviness began to lift. Months later, I caught myself laughing again.

This song isn’t just about me. It’s about how healing can return in ways you don’t expect. For me, it was writing songs. For you, it might be something else entirely. Just keep walking, keep your eyes open. Step by step, light can find its way back in.

Step By Step

Fredricktown, MO is a small Midwest town you probably haven't heard of where American singer-songwriter Brett Seper was born and raised. 

"I come from a place where few people make it out of. Most people are born here and stay settled here," says Brett Seper. He believes his work ethic and musicianship reflect a desire to go higher than what his small town has to offer.

Brett learned how to play the guitar from his grandfather, who introduced him to music when he was a child. Brett's grandfather loved to watch Brett play and sing, but he passed away recently. However, Brett continues to make his grandpa proud by writing and performing his music.
