In late 2012, Kissel wrote and recorded a song about the 2012–13 NHL lockout, "Hockey, Please Come Back".[6] The music video for the song was viewed 10,000 times in its first two days of release.[7]
On May 10, 2013, Kissel signed a record deal with Warner Music Canada.[8] His debut single, "Started with a Song", was released on June 17.[8] It became the most added song at Canadian country radio in its first week, surpassing a record set by Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together".[9] It debuted at number 87 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 for the week of July 27, 2013.[10] The music video for the song premiered on CMT Canada on June 27.[9] Kissel's first album for Warner, also titled Started with a Song, was released on October 1, 2013.[8] Kissel co-produced the album with Ted Hewitt and Bart McKay.[3] "Started with a Song" peaked at the Number One position on CMT Canada's Chevrolet Top 20 Countdown.[11] The album's second single, "Raise Your Glass", was released to Canadian country radio on October 7. The music video was produced by Margaret Malandruccolo.
On January 25, 2014, Brett Kissel was nominated for four Association of Country Music in Alberta Awards (ACMAs), winning two awards for Rising Star and Single of the Year for Started with a Song.[12] Following his two award wins, Kissel toured across Canada with his first national co-headlining tour called The Young Guns Tour.[13] The tour had nineteen concerts from Vancouver to Charlottetown with co-headliners One More Girl.[14] Kissel and One More Girl performed in front of thousands of fans across Canada.[15]
On February 14, 2014, Kissel released his third single from his Started with a Song album titled "3-2-1"[16] with a music video directed by Shaun Silva [17] of Tacklebox Films. The video was shot in Nashville, Tennessee and has received heavy airplay on CMT Canada.[18]
