Through determination and hard work, he honed his craft, eventually turning his passion into a professional reality.
Today, Brandyn is a multi-talented artist, exceling as a writer, recording artist, songwriter, filmmaker, and actor. His written work includes the feature film The Legacy and the Gary Coleman biography As if I Never Existed, which provides a unique glimpse into Gary's life during his final years.
Brandyn has also optioned and produced multiple feature screenplays, written over 100 episodes for TV series and specials, and is the writer/co-producer of the live event Jackie Evancho & Friends: We are Hope, which was filmed for television broadcast. He is currently releasing the first volumes of an epic book series, The Legacy, based on real events and taken from the writings of a terminally ill young boy who endured physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
As a singer/songwriter, Brandyn has scored international top 10 hits such as Dear Mr. Jesus and If Money Talks (It Ain't on Speakin' Terms With Me),and his music video I Will Always Love You reached the top 10. He has also acted in films like Unicorn City and The Wayshower, and is currently in post-production for his feature directorial debut, The Legacy.
