"Down Looks Up ", the debut record by 19 year-old NYC-based singer songwriter Brandon Sheer is a melodic, heartfelt collection of pop songs that truly capture teenage angst in all its emotional glory.
Trained at New York's famed Professional Children's School and
mentored by voice coach Gordon Grody, who has worked with artists like Alicia Keys,David Bowie. "I started working with Gordon when I was 16, he's one of my best friends. He was the first person who really believed in my music and just continues to help me take my music to high levels.” Brandon also has worked with voice teacher Don Lawrence (Bono, Bon Jovi, Christina Aguilera). After a brief stay at the Berklee School of Music, Brandon decided to push forward with his career full time. He is looking to make a name for himself in an already crowded field while simultaneously expanding his education, but on his own terms. Undaunted, Brandon realizes the challenges on the road ahead. "To me there just seems to be a void out there right now--a total lack of straightforward, well written, melodic pop rock songs," says the 19-year old dynamo. "I'm not claiming to reinvent the wheel here, nor do I feel that I have to. I just want to write the type of songs that people sing in the shower."
Working with Xandy Barry and Wally Gagel, the production team behind recent hits by Mylie Cyrus Jessica Simpson and Backstreet Boys, as well as writing with Aaron Kamin of the 90's rock band The Calling, Brandon seems to be well on his way. "The response so far on iTunes and Myspace has been amazing," says Brandon. "Well beyond what I expected," he adds.
Brandon's songs combine noticeable elements of his favorite 90's alternative acts as well as classic pop artists. His sound evoke easy
comparison to many of his influences including Pete Yorn, Lifehouse and Our Lady Peace. The lead single, "When You're Here" is a straightforward pop-rock love song with an undeniably catchy chorus, while "Change" is a driving rock song about moving on. Other highlights on “Down Looks Up” include “Stare At The Sun” and “When You Fall”. Brandon will continue writing and playing shows and hopes to have a full-length album out by the springtime.
