- Brandon -
Vocalist & Guitarist
|
Brandon was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. Around the age of 11, Brandon developed an interest in music, when he started to pursue his first instrument through school band: the trumpet. He quickly found joy in being able to make music! During this time, Brandon also watched his cousin, who was a professional drummer, play the drums in church and was enthralled. From there, Brandon asked his parents for a drum set, and immediately started teaching himself how to play the drums.
By the age of 15, Brandon began playing the drums for his church, while also starting a band with some of his high school friends. While playing in that band, Brandon began experimenting with songwriting, which sparked his interest in learning the guitar, so he started to take guitar lessons at the age of 17. |
At 19, Brandon attended the Atlanta Institute of Music in Georgia to study music production and recording. After graduating, he moved back to Charleston, and founded his current band, Token Mary, alongside his former guitar teacher.
Over the next few years, Brandon performed various shows around Charleston, with a mixture of solo performances, performances with his band, and various partnerships with other Charleston musicians. Since 2018, Brandon has worked as a professional fitness instructor, as well as continuing to perform music around town. Although Brandon has a love for fitness as well as music, in 2021, Brandon made the decision to pursue what he loves the most, and focus solely on playing music full-time for a living!
