Music.
<meta charset="utf-8"><p>This year I celebrate my 10th anniversary in Los Angeles. Three albums, 3 digital singles, 3 kids, 3 homes, and one life threatening illness. And so I suppose it's no surprise I still haven't paid off my student loans. Such is life...<br><br>What would I love for you to know about me in 2011? Well, after everything that's happened in this City of Angels these past few years (my stage three cancer diagnosis and treatment, a 2nd chance, and oh - yeah, a DAUGHTER!), I'm learning to love the craft and joy of music again. I truly appreciate my friends, family and creative collaborations more than ever, and my music has never felt so playful - spirited - and dare I say, JOYFUL in it's creation. I think I'm learning to see the world - the music business - life - production - art - all with a childlike innocence again. And it feels <font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent;"><i>good</i></span></font>.

But to summarize (for now), let me now quote the first bio I ever put up on my first website some eight or nine years ago:<br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent;"><i>"Bottom line: I love writing, recording, and playing music and I look forward to sharing every bit of this journey with you. This is only the beginning, friends."<br></i></span></font><br>All my love. Seriously.<br><br>Brandon</p>
