Meet Brandon.

The son of a pastor, Brandon was exposed to music on a regular basis from the womb. He first realized his passion for playing the drums at three years old. Sitting on the front pew at his father’s church, his main focus was the drummer, imitating the drummer’s moves with anything from pencils and pens to rolled-up church programs. Brandon’s father was also a musician and his mother comes from a musical family as well, so one could easily conclude that music is “in Brandon’s blood.”

Brandon was just seven years old when he began playing drums professionally. After years of practice and developing his talent, Brandon became a very passionate musician. He was often requested to play for other churches, groups, and events. The opportunities to play were extremely numerous and Brandon was grateful for each one. Opportunities such as playing for several choirs in the church and the community as well as playing for many gospel artists.
