BRANDON'S STORY
Brandon began singing at age ten. From the beginning, he began surprising everyone with his talent.

Through junior high and middle school, Brandon played viola and then saxophone in the senior high school band. And, while still in high school, he joined a band that opened for famous Tex-Mex musicians like Little Joe Y La Familia and Ruben Ramos. He's always been a versatile musician.

"I mainly play guitar and piano and I sing. I can play the drums, bass guitar, accordion, and Guitarron (Mariachi Bass). I love to turn up my electric guitar and let it wail."
