Jody McBrayer (born June 25, 1970) is an American singer/songwriter. A former member of the Christian pop group Avalon, with whom he recorded and toured with for nearly twelve years, he departed the group in 2007 due to a rare but manageable form of heart disease, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.[1]
He has released one solo album on Sparrow Records titled This Is Who I Am in 2002. One of the tracks "Never Alone" featured Jadyn Maria. In interviews regarding that album, he states that the death of his father, Clyde "Sonny" McBrayer, on September 13, 2000 was an inspiration for the album. McBrayer states, "My father's passing brought a moment of revelation. I returned home with so much on my heart and a vision for how to express it. Though Avalon has a common mission statement, these are feelings too personal for a group." [2] His final collaboration with Avalon is the album Another Time, Another Place. Its songs, recorded in true Avalon-style, reveal the foursome’s steady, stellar vocal talent on hits like Sandi Patty and Wayne Watson’s duet “Another Time, Another Place,” “El Shaddai” by Amy Grant, “For The Sake of The Call” by Steven Curtis Chapman and First Call’s “The Reason We Sing.” [3]
He is married to Stephanie Harrison and has one daughter, Sarah Clayton McBrayer, born in 2005.[4]
