Brandon Riley made his debut in early 2021 with the single “Marco Polo.” That track introduced a talented singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a broad musical palette and a flare for the aesthetic. Brandon’s music is a rich mix of popular modern musical genres. His sound blends elements Pop, Rock, and EDM into a uniquely soulful vibe. He pairs this distinctive sound with the visual stylings of the Jazz age, most often donning himself in a three piece suit and fedora.
Although Brandon Riley only recently made his entry into the music world as a solo artist, it follows years of musical exploration and preparation. After spending his childhood immersed in the sounds of Classic Rock pioneers like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, the multi-talented creator cut his teeth throughout high school and college by performing as a guitarist, vocalist, pianist and songwriter in bands all around his Kansas City hometown.
“Scar Tattoo” is the latest single from Brandon Riley, released worldwide to all major streaming services on September 17, 2021. For his sophomore release, the singer digs deep into an emotional lyrical meditation on the lasting effects of trauma. Ambient synths and a hypnotic downtempo beat create a cool Trip-Hop mood. Lush vocal harmonies swell in the distance as piano and guitar chords paint the edges of the mix. Immersed in this subdued Dark Pop vibe, Brandon sings of his own physical and emotional scars and reaches out to fellow survivors for solace and healing through art.
