Mając 20 lat nagrał jako karaoke "Your Cheatin' Heart" w studio mieszczącym się w centrum handlowym.Jedna ze sprzedawczyń będąc pod wrażeniem jego śpiewu zaproponowała mu udział w konkursie młodych talentów.Po udanym starcie Byrd postanowił uczynić ze śpiewania country swoje powołanie.Opuścił college i przystąpił do grupy towarzyszącej Markowi Chesnuttowi.Po przesłuchaniu w MCA podpisał z tą wytwórnią kontrakt płytowy.
W 1993r wydaje swój debiutancki album,z którego trzy single trafiły na listy przebojów.Następny No Ordinary Man był komercyjnym uderzeniem na rynku muzycznym,sprzedał się w 2 milionowym nakładzie trafiając do Top5 listy Billboard.Powtórzył swój sukces płytą "Love lessons",jednak single z niej "Walking to Jerusalem" i "4 to 1 in Atlanta" praktycznie przepadły na listach przebojów.
Byrd zdecydował się na opuszczenie MCA dla RCA,gdzie zadebiutował w 1999r albumem na wskroś popowym It's About Time z którego pochodzi jego najpopularniejszy singiel "Put Your Hand in Mine".Na płycie Ten Rounds wraca jednak do tradycyjnego country;"Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo" singiel z tej płyty trafia na szczyt zestawień country.Już dla Mule Records nagrał Different Things swój ostatni album.
