Brandon Named On NSAI's 'Ones To Watch' List

"Songwriting is where most of my heart is at musically," said Brandon. "I love to create. I am proud of this honor, but if it wasn't for the talented people I've had the pleasure to co-write with, especially with Jon, I doubt something like this would have ever happened. They push me and encourage me to improve and pull my weight, but most of all I appreciate their willingness to work with me and for their support."
This marks Brandon's third time selected as 'Ones To Watch'.
