biography

Brandon Fraley is striving to accomplish something that rarely happens in this business. He's trying to put together an album built on songs, not production. In an industry where only two to three great songs are typically found on a $17 record, Brandon feels that audiences deserve more for their money.

Brandon has been writing for his debut record for a few years and has compiled about 20 songs that he feels can each stand on its own on a record. After all the songs are finished, he will then narrow the strong 20 down to an elite 11 or 12. He's not sure if this formula will work, but he's making his first record as strong as he knows how.

So far, Brandon alone has produced all 18 tracks that have been completed to date. He has been working with Grammy award winner Tommy Sims. After hearing the first 12 sides, Tommy commented, "[Brandon] has six or seven radio singles here, easy." This was a huge compliment for Brandon due to the fact that he grew up listening to Tommy's work as well as artists like Brian McKnight & Babyface. For the past 2 years, Brandon has also been a full time writer/producer for Sony Music Publishing's L.A. office. Essential records, "True Vibe" recorded one of Brandon's songs on their second record, which ended up getting a grammy nod.

The great thing about Brandon's music is that it truly is music for all ages. The production is current enough that the younger audiences have responded to such tracks as "If This Is Love" & "See You Around." The college age and mid 20's crowd have commented on the radio friendly sounds of "When I'm Gone" and "Miles From Here." The adult contemporary crowd has grabbed hold of the record due to Brandon's lyric maturity on tracks like "The Wonder of Your Love" & Painting with Picasso.".

Just imagine, a parent and their teenager agreeing to listen to the same record in the car. Sound impossible? Check out Brandon Fraley's debut record and you'll see how it can happen.
