**Currently on a hiatus! Close family and medical reasons. I will update this as soon as I'm back. Stay safe and be well!**
I am a singer-songwriter, with experience in writing for the last 9 years. I have dozens of songs that are completed but unrecorded, and I'm still in the process of writing more. My slower songs tend to lean towards a power/pop ballad sound. My groovier stuff generally has a more funk rock flair to it, and my faster, upbeat tracks tend to have a more rock sound as well. In short, my music is essentially pop-rock.
A little about me:
I am 23 years old and grew up on the east coast. I have been a singer ever since I can remember, and I've been playing the keys since I was 10. I started writing when I was 14 years old and have since written dozens of songs. After graduating from college with a diploma in Audio Production and Engineering, I lost my way for a time. I worked a few different odd jobs to get the bills paid but was never really happy with my life. I finally realized during this pandemic that music is my one and only calling, and it is what I want to do for the rest of my life. There is really nothing else that I am passionate about. Music is it for me. So although I've never been in a band, I am determined to be part of one. I'm looking to join a band as the keyboard player and possibly the background vocalist to begin with. I have no experience as a performer, so being a lead vocalist would be something I might want to work up to.
Here's a link to an EP I released late last year of four original songs: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/brandonglazer/first-ep
As a note on COVID 19:
Sadly, these have been some seriously rough months, and as such, so many bands have been forced to stop playing. Of course, I don't plan on doing any gigs during this pandemic, but I want to get a band together so that when everything has calmed down to a point where we can back to doing what we love, I am able to do that with some awesome passionate musicians.
Note that I do not drive at the moment, but I am working on getting my license for 2022!
