Brandon Heath likes the little moments.

Those opportunities to observe, process and act upon what he witnesses in the world surrounding him are the primary traits of a great songwriter, something Heath continues to showcase on his second Reunion Records release, What If We.

Even the album's title grew up out of one of those little moments, a conversation Heath was having with a mentor that sent the Nashville native, now Houston resident, spinning off into thought.

"Every part of that phrase, 'what if we,' is important," Heath says. "I don't even look at it as incomplete - dot, dot, dot - because the 'what if' part is about possibilities, obviously. But the 'we' part is saying, 'let's do this together, let's not do this alone.'"

"One of the things that bothers me about this world is that we're all in this for ourselves. We're looking out for number one. I don't want to be alone, I want to live life with other people. God even says it's better to join together in service to Him."

Community is at the very core of who Brandon Heath is both as a private person and public figure. He shares this idea with friends and followers alike, both of which have grown considerably since the release of his 2006 debut project Don't Get Comfortablewhich produced national touring and multiple radio hits, including the No. 1 blockbuster song "I'm Not Who I Was."

Heath has garnered professional accolades, to be sure, with the success of songs like "I'm Not Who I Was" also generating the steam that earned him multiple Dove Award nominations in 2008, including taking the trophy home for New Artist of the Year. He was also nominated for Songwriter of the Year and Song of the Year for "I'm Not Who I Was."

Heath has also been able to take that public platform and merge it with his heart for community, working with Young Life, Blood:Water Mission, Restore International and unofficially many other human rights agencies on the larger global scale, even turning his attention to trials near his hometown of Nashville. After parts of the city and surrounding areas were ravaged by a string of tornadoes in April 2008, Brandon quickly organized a highly-effective benefit concert for the storm victims, evidence of living big in the little moments.

But even as success as an artist started to come his way, Heath knew that his personal, creative satisfaction was always going to come in the form of his songwriting. And where many new artists get caught up, for good or ill, in the swirl of activity surrounding that first record, Heath buckled down and maintained his focus on the talent and skill that brought him to the table in the first place.

"One of the things I think was good about the season around the first record is that I didn't stop writing," Heath says. "Going out and singing songs every night was kinda something I initially dreaded, but I loved it way more than I thought I would, which is why it took me so long to become an artist because I wasn't sure I wanted to perform for a live audience."
