Meet Brandon. A creator from birth, his parents claim to have found crayons in his lunchbox when he came home from school. They even caught him crying (more than once) when the commercials ended on the TV and he was forced to watch the regularly scheduled programming. Although Brandon thought about taking a path toward football stardom, one ACL tear took him off the field and onto writing and producing his own music at the tender age of 14. His first 10-track album made its debut on YouTube for five full days until Brandon declared it trash and deleted it before it had the chance to hit the Hot 100. Maybe Brandon didn’t make it big, but he did manage to cultivate a passion for combining visuals with other mediums, as he made cover art for all of his failed creations.

These days Brandon is still writing music, while making the girls swoon at Mizzou. He currently works as a social media marketing and photography intern for the Columbia Parks and Recreation. He also interned with the Columbia Chamber of Commerce and a few of their clients in the marketing field.
