What People Are Saying

  • Brandon is a amazing person to work with. After working with him for 8+ years, I can say he has a wonderful gift of being able to find, and develop really talented artists. He understands not only the old recorded music process but is cutting edge on the new and developing music industry. I honestly hope we can work together again.

  • I worked with Brandon for several years at EMI CMG/EMI Gospel. Brandon is a diligent, hard-working man with “eyes” and “ears” for developing and honing talent and knowing what sounds “right”. I have witnessed his knack and skill when it comes to A&R, and can attest to his passion for creating good, uplifting music. I highly recommend Brandon for any company or individual seeking A&R/artist development expertise.
