[BRËN] is an Alernative Rock
singer-songwriter similar to acts such as
Breaking Benjamin, Dream Theater, and Alice In Chains and calls Southern California home.
As an Alumnus of the Vocal Institute of Technology and
Recording Artist Program at
Musician's Institute in Hollywood, California,
[BRËN] has had the opportunity to study
and interact with some of the Music Industry's most respected veterans, such as
“The Musician's Handbook” author and UCLA Lecturer, Bobby Borg, ‘Cher’ Producer Ritchie Zito,
and critically acclaime, Grammy-winning song-writer, Michael Anderson.
[BRËN] began his musical journey in orchestral
and drumline settings as a charter member of his
high school's music department, participating in
many of the region’s competitions and being an active
part of an award-winning team, garnering
praise at both regional and state levels.
After graduating from high school, he attended
Musician's Institute. During that time, [BRËN] was the drummer
for the Los Angeles-based metal band, Rattlehead, headlining every major venue on the Sunset Strip on peak
nights in prime time slots (most notably
the ‘Whisky A Go-Go’
and the coveted ‘Key Club’).
[BRËN] was afforded the opportunity to not only study the
technical aspects of musicianship and
song-writing at Musician's Institute, but also
gained real-world experience.
[BRËN]'s debut solo album, "Anywhere But Here...", is unique because he performs all the instruments and vocals
on the album. [BRËN] is optimistic
about "Anywhere But Here..." which has already generated some buzz. He recently completed music videos for his first two singles for the anticipated release, the songs "Epic" and "Worth The Weight."
[BRËN] was recently featured in Style-ology Magazine's Anniversary Issue as their highlighted artist.
He was also the spotlight artist in Bakotopia Magazine.
In addition, he recently made his terrestrial radio debut on the KRAB 106.1 FM (Clearchannel) show "The Tracking Room," a full quarter-hour of [BRËN]'s music and a broadcast interview.
[BRËN] is currently represented by IMTAgency and under the management of Margaret Guiraud. {Booking Information: (phone) 310.461.1550 (e-mail) int.talent@hotmail.com (MySpace) myspace.com/IMTAgencyBiz}

We picked it cuz it basically sums up the album. Alot of the songs are about getting away from either someone that hurt you, or onto a better life, and just wanting to get away so it went perfect with the song lyrics. Ah well thats cool dude hopefully we can get a show together sometime that would be awesome! We recorded at Killingsworth Recording in LA they did all the mastering and stuff we just have to send our artwork and files to Diskmakers to get it all duplicated and then were set.
Did you record your album just by yourself with your own equipment or did you go to a studio?
Yeah we have an album coming out in a couple months. And so you know the title is "Anywhere but here" lol i know thats your album title but we had no idea so don't think were trying to copy you or anything cuz we are not. We have to get it duplicated and stuff right now then it will be out.
I listened to your stuff. And its great! especially cuz you wrote everything yourself! Thats awesome! Your videos are tight too!
I remember we were gonna play a show with u at the Gate about a month or so ago but then u weren't there lol. What happened with that we were looking forward to hearing you.
Hei! Thanks for your comment <3 Maybe the left one but I'm not sure anymore. This was drawn about 2 years ago and now I'm working on something else that will probably be my tattoo one day ;) But this one you commented on was meant to be on the left shoulder.
Hey Bren! Nice meeting you the other night also.We seem to share the same view on a lot of things in the music industry.Hope to see you again sometime.Have an awesome day!
Hi , I have something very exciting and important to share with you. I am going to send you a quick email with a link to my website. It would mean a lot to me if you would review the website and give your honest feedback. Is that okay?"
Your group is amazing, love your voice! Thanks for yoru compliment on our stuff too, it means a lot heawring it from someone as talented as you!!!! Let us know when you are in Seattle so we can meet up or see you at your show! Chelsi
He's in LA so I'm away as it is, havn't seen him since December. How come you would wanna see Jerusalem, you're not religious either are you? I'm not religious, never read the bible, kinda creeped out by Jesus freaks but have nothing against religious people who are just into being nice to one another and all that good shit. I'm spiritual I do pray, and curious about any mystical phenomenons. Yup. I look forward to checking it out for myself but I never would have thought of going there if mom hadn't invited me on the trip=)
Cruises are nice haha, I'm goin to Jerusalem. Mom wants to check out the holy sites, she's full of crazy mystical stories, like there's some icon somewhere covered up and you're not allowed to look at it but some guy lifted the veil and went blind on the spot. I have to investigate. No I havn't put pics up, I can send you a pic though I just wanna put it up on the wall first it's currently taped to the floor haha where I was painting it. Dylan is someone I will most probably do one day, man it sucks that dad is here I wanna do someone crazy but he's weird about rock stars (cus "they all take drugs") so it's making it harder to decide... I'll look into Dylan pics.
