Though born in Dallas, Jerry Audley was raised all over central Texas due to his family's frequent moves. He currently resides in Anna, Texas with his wife of fifteen years.
Jerry has had a great love for music his entire life. He frequently sang in church programs and preformed in school plays and musicals when he was a young boy. He performed in Rock N' Roll bands as a teenager and into his early twenties. He toured the country with his own band, who released two albums on Anchor Records.
Jerry produced a video that aired on MTV and took 2nd place singing in the GMC National Talent Competition. "It was a great feeling being acknowledged for what I love doing," he says. Jerry demonstrated considerable promotional savvy when he hooked up with Pro Wrestler Cary VonEric for commercials touting his headline appearance at Reunion Arena in Dallas.
His first trips to Nashville to test the national waters saw him sleeping in his truck and showering in roadside parks while trying to get in and somehow meet somebody who could help him. He finally found another aspiring artist to room with and spent two years living in Nashville. "I graduated from Hard Knox University," he says. While there he recorded several projects, sang demos and wrote many songs with accredited writers such as Glenn Sutton, Ash Underwood, Les Rawlings, Ray Hood, and Tim Johnson, to name a few. He spent one year in acting class, one year with vocal coach Bo Sebastian, and one year in Media Image classes, where he was told he was a natural.
These days, with interest growing in this talented Texan's music, Jerry is finding that his passion for the music has gotten stronger as he gets closer to his breakthrough. He says, "I'm working as hard as I've ever worked. It just doesn't seem like work when I'm doing what I love, what I've dreamed about since I was a small boy. Thank God for all the blessings and lessons."
