Brett Walker, RIP

Carl Brett Walker was an American songwriter, musician, and record producer. As a singer/songwriter, his music can be heard on over 300 network television shows, including The Young and the Restless, One Tree Hill, Felicity, CSI: Miami, Everwood, Malcolm in the Middle, Baywatch, and One Life to Live.

Walker was born in Norman, Oklahoma. At the age of 21 he moved to Los Angeles, where he worked as a songwriter and collaborated with a number of artists and songwriters, including Survivor, Nick Gilder, Jonathan Cain (Journey), Russ Ballard and Alias featuring Freddy Curci.

In 1991 Walker co-wrote the song “Waiting for love” for the band Alias on EMI Capitol records and went on to become Walker’s first top-10 international hit. The Alias CD earned platinum sales throughout the world and the song “Waiting for Love” received a BMI Award for top radio airplay that year.

He died suddenly at his home in Draper Utah. He made his home in Southern California for most of his adult life and that is where he considered his true home to be. Brett was an accomplished singer, songwriter, and talented musician. He has been a top US artist as well as a renown international performer, with many awards to his credit and has travelled the world performing in concert.  He had recently finished a new album which will be released, with the approval of his family, in August.

Brett renewed a friendship after nearly 25 years and married Sheron in 2010.  In the short time that they had to share their love, they celebrated life and travelled much, always adding an adventure to their life together.
Brett leaves behind his Wife Sheron Hope, and the Trujillo family that he was very happy to be a part of, his Mother LeaDean, Brother Phillip and Brother Dale (JoAnn) and Nephew Cody all residing in California. Also surviving Brett are his 3 children from a previous marriage. He is preceded in death by his Father RC Walker.

Our condolences to his friends and family.
