Testimonials
“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.”
“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.”
“Brandon Egerton is a hidden arsenal of wisdom. His knowledge of the music industry is vast and has been able to help me understand how to make it applicable in my journey as a songwriter and artist. If you need a guide on how to build your career, he is the man to know.”
“Great consultation session last night. You really hit the nail on the head and gave me the tools I need to move forward with the next step which is promo and marketing. I really appreciate you listening to some of my concerns and giving me motivational feedback. You should know that people like you with such industry experience are rare to find.”
