This youthful-looking
singer, songwriter has had a singular vision of
entertaining the world with his meaningful tales
for nearly two decades. Always a capable writer,
he has honed his craft naturally to fit his sometimes
folksy, sometimes rock and roll style of guitar
playing. While performing in a band originated with
his brother and two friends in San Diego in the
early 90’s, he also realized the joy of entertaining
live.
While earning his living in electronics and becoming
accomplished in recording arts, he also completed
several years of college and delved in making videos
as well as developing his own digital recording
studio at home.
He was raised listening to rock and roll and gravitated
to heavy metal in his adolescent and teen years.
Now, he is a true music afficianodo sometimes listening
to classical music, folk music, and most everything
in between. Brandon appreciates the message of a
song and the craft of songwriting, as well as the
necessary musicianship. He is a natural encyclopedia
of information about classic music from the 50’s
until now.
In fact, Brandon is the grandson of a musician
and inherited his love of music, as well as the
development of his own talent. His grandfather described
himself as, “a sax man” though he also
played the clarinet and had his own band from his
Army days throughout most of his life. Playing music
for Brandon is a hallowed experience and one he
takes very seriously.
He got polished on the guitar when he was on a
nightshift at a major corporation in San Diego for
several years. “You could come home at 6 a.m.,
take out the guitar, and have a couple beers and
go back to bed at noon.” This cycle of 12-hour
night shifts was repeated for several years. He
continued, “It’s not like you can find
someone to go on a date with at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday.”
Brandon is very close to his brother and his mother
and is also an uncle now twice over. He is very
family oriented and indulges his love of the beach.
He enjoys living in San Diego, but realizes that
“making music” may lead him to places
unknown. Brandon is single, never been married,
and has no children. His life is a musical score
yet to be written, with so much potential. Its just
a matter of time before someone special recognizes
Brandon Rice, the world will see and hear him pour
his life stories into unforgetable memories. Its
time to take some risk and let it all ride.
