‘Home’ is the debut solo album of British singer-songwriter, Brenden Guyatt. Throughout the years Brenden Guyatt has developed a sound as rich as Country and Gospel and as energetic as Motown with an element of Pop familiarity – his musical influences lie within all of those genres. Blended with his distinctive tone his musical offering, ‘Home’ showcases a more refreshing sound.
The album is injected with passion and is a self-portrait of writer and subject – hopeful for the future, imagining a place and a purpose for all – songs of love and faith, loss and gain, peace and struggle. Guyatt says, “my hope is that these songs remind people that they once loved music because of how it made them feel, thinking of the hope it brings. It is real music. It’s real and from the heart.” Free of gimmickry and full of honesty.
‘Home’ was recorded in one of Europe’s only fully solar-powered studios, The Premises, in Hackney, London. The album includes a sought-after list of contributors.’ They gave to the sessions what money can’t buy; heartfelt love and passion’.

His endorsement for the album: “Brenden is one of the rare ones. Not afraid to follow his enormous heart for humanity in his pursuit of a place in the music game. I am now a true fan of the man and his art. It was an honor to be a part of these beautiful songs. I can only hope that many people have the chance to experience them. I am most proud to have been one of the first.”
