Zach Bryan is a man of many mysteries. He rarely talks to media, and — depending on the day — is not on X or Instagram.

These 11 facts about the “I Remember Everything” singer may help you understand what drives him and his music.

• Zach Bryan’s first big hit was “Something in the Orange,” released in 2022.
• It’s been certified 7X Platinum and earned a Grammy nomination.

Finally, there’s the sad story of Zach Bryan’s mom. He sings about her more than he talks about her, and that’s understandable. Scroll down to see all 11 facts about Zach Bryan, beginning with the reason we’re all here.
