IN BRIEF
ABOUT
Bretton Kyle is a rock artist on a mission to move people, not just through sound, but through soul. With an electric stage presence and a voice that feels equal parts grit and grace, Bretton makes music that dares listeners to be their wildest, most authentic selves. His songs are personal anthems: lyrical, raw, and driven by the kind of energy that fills a room and stays with you long after the final chord.
His sound blends classic rock with modern takes on punk, blues, indie, and pop influences. Emotionally charged, full of heart, and unapologetically free - Bretton's music has filled iconic New York City venues including Rockwood Music Hall - Stage 1 and 2, Pianos, Berlin Under A, Gold Sounds, NuBlu, Pete’s Candy Shop, The Delancey, Connolly’s, The Music Inn, and Cobra Club.
Bretton's early singles, raw bedroom recordings created remotely with longtime friend and Grammy winning producer Matt Maroulakos (credits include Jacob Collier, The Linda Lindas, and The Happy Fits), laid the groundwork for his bold new chapter. For nearly two years, he and Matty have been recording Bretton’s debut EP live in the studio, bringing an organic, full-bodied sound to life.
The first single, “Stayin’ Up All Night,” was released May 2, 2025, kicking off a wave of new music that captures the evolution of an artist who’s fully stepping into his own. His next single “I’m Sorry,” continues building serious momentum as an artist to watch. Additionally, the band has recorded a live EP of their original music at Studio40 at the New York Public Library that is pending release in mid 2026.
Whether you hear him in your headphones or from the front row, one thing is clear: Bretton Kyle isn’t just playing music, he’s creating space for people to feel everything, let go, and come alive.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“"Devil of the Desert", a loud-sounding, meticulously constructed and energetic explosion that conquers and captivates lovers of good music.”
“With a powerful guitar and an intense voice, Bretton creates an atmosphere that transports you to other places in the world and then returns in full force to the desert. It's a powerful hard rock song that has moments of great impact. Like a guitar scream that expresses the climax of the song Don't miss it!”
“In this track (MOTHER ROOSTER), the musical base takes a discreet place, but that does not mean that it does not participate in the narrative, as it perfectly feeds the voice and its interpretation in order to make the voice and the word shine with a layer of dynamism that catches the attention of the listeners.”
