I am extremely creative, I just love to create and share with the world, whether that is music or, on occasion, visual art - that about sums me up perfectly!
I am a music graduate from City, University of London, where I have been able to study modules that explore a range of topics - ranging from orchestration, to opera, to EDM! I have been playing the piano since I was 8 years old, and regularly give performances both in and outside the uni environment.
I am also very interested in composition, where I enjoy collaborating with filmmakers, writing for films and other media, as well as writing pieces for my own instrument! I also really enjoy arranging pieces for orchestra in my spare time as a hobby.
Feel free to also take a look at my website or follow my Instagram page which features several videos of performance as well as composition! @brandon.sands.music
