description: "Paul Rennée Belobersycky, known professionally as Paul Brandt, is a Canadian country music artist. Growing up in Calgary, he was a pediatric nurse at the time of his big break. In 1996, he made his mark on the country music charts with the single \"My Heart Has a History\", propelling him to international success and making him the first male Canadian country singer to reach the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in the United States since Hank Snow in 1974. His second single \"I Do\" reached number one on the Mediabase Country chart in the United States. Brandt achieved later success in Canada with singles such as \"Canadian Man\", \"Alberta Bound\", \"Didn't Even See the Dust\", and \"I'm an Open Road\"."
