Early Life

Kane Brown was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee on October 21, 1993. His mother’s name is Deborah and she raised him as a single parent along with his grandmother. Growing up, Brown was teased for being biracial; he is part Cherokee and part European-American. Deborah Brown moved her around a lot when he was growing up, which made it hard for him to make friends. Eventually, the family settled down in Red Bank, Tennessee. Kane attended Ridgeland and Soddy Daisy High Schools.
