Biography

If anyone sings from the heart, it's this guy. Traveling a long, hard road he has experienced quite a lot for one man. "It's funny sometimes how we perceive worth" Brandon says. Brandon Reid Allen's passion for truth has shown through his ministry and independent Christian music.

Brandon Reid Allen grew up in a musical environment - a family band, if you will, in a small town in IN. I always knew I would someday have to leave and experience all that I could. So I did!"

Learning to play instruments at a young age seemed to mold his future. As Brandon Reid Allen grew, so did his ideas and like most young people there were many times he believed he was invincible. "Man I thought I could rule the world; didn't know I didn't want to." After surviving some insane obstacles Brandon Reid Allen uses his music to tell about it,. God has given him a ministry. "I could feel the tugging or sense the calling but I was very, very stubborn." Brandon wasn't brought up a Christian but God had clearly chosen him to be a soldier.

He finished his debut C.D. titled Empty Chair in May of 2004 and already God has opened doors. I'm overwhelmed by the amazing response I'm getting from the debut of this independent Christian music album.. Brandon has received offers from Major record labels, has appeared on many radio shows, press and media, recently has had two feature stories in major magazines. He hold 6 Top Ten songs from empty chair. Brandon is gaining airplay nationally and internationally. He recently signed a deal with Crosstones Productions to do a LIVE album that will be distributed on a national level.

This is all blowing me away, I mean I once was homeless, on the streets of Vegas with a really bad attitude, and now that I have surrendered, my life has become blessed.

This C.D. in many ways, chronicles one person's journey toward making a decision. In this case, however, that person chooses not only to sit in this empty chair but also to carry the chair (the invitation) to others. You're clearly able to hear the struggle of that choice. The music maintains some of Brandon's "country roots" yet is mixed with the modern rock he loves and combined with lyrics that are real.

Mix Tom Petty with John MellonCamp and sprinkle a little Dillan and add a heavy dose of Rob Thomas from MatchBox 20 and there you have it!

"I've recently finished writing the follow up CD, I'm totally excited about it. I just pray God continues to use me reach the people that need it."

Listen. Enjoy. Accept the invitation.
