Career

At the age of 15, without any formal musical training, Brandon began using the FL Studio (formerly Fruity Loops) beat-making program. After years honing his new craft, he began his production career by putting his work on SoundClick, a music-based community that allows artists to promote, stream, and even sell their songs. Within a year, he landed his first major placement via SoundClick in producing Jive Records/Hitz Committee rapper Trai'D's breakout single "Gutta Chick". Shortly after in 2008, he inked a publishing deal with Ultra International Music Publishing.^[2]
