“Few artists in this world have come around and stayed around. Even fewer have come around, unashamedly true to their deep, messy, beautiful roots, and remained timeless.”
Brandin Reed was born on the southern coast of the Golden State and raised across the country, traveling with his father, evangelist Larry Reed, only to land in the electric city of Dallas-Fort Worth. Rather than a “star being born”, Brandin is a “star” who was made. One of the hardest, yet most brilliant capabilities of a musician is to produce an authentic sound that comes from experiences of joy, heartache, wins and losses. Accompanied by seasoned guitar strings, Reed shares with his listeners feelings and truth in a masterful way. His unique sound isn’t boxed in by a genre or label—he writes, records and sings from the depths of his Californian heart and it guarantees his listeners a little taste of everything.
Glued to the organ seat beside his multi-talented gospel musician mother, it’s no wonder how from an early age, Reed found himself in love with music. Those sugar-coated harmonies and divine gospel scales he learned have transported themselves through the thick and thin of Reed’s life. The religious example his father set before him is reflected in Reed’s silver-tongued lyrics about how his relationship with God has rescued him from a multitude of valley lows.
Each of his songs has a story and encouragement that stays on your mind and in your heart, long after the sound waves go to rest.
