Brandon Keith McCowan

Biography Brandon Keith's Journey(Bio) Born in Tyler Texas on April 16th 1984, Brandon Keith McCowan is the third child of 4. At age 7 his grandfather, Rada Blevins,. introduced him to R&B music through listening to Bobby Blue Bland, James Brown, and BB king. While constantly mimicking those artists sounds around the house, he began to gain interest in singing. So at age 10 he joined a choir. Thereafter, he began entering school talent shows and making great success at them. He would perform songs ranging from Luther Vandross, Micheal Jackson, and Al green to, Tyrese and Usher. Brandon was introduced to poetry in 6th grade by his English teacher Mrs. Gideon. As he got older, his interest in poetry and his writing strengthened and was more structured. He credits his high school teachers Ms Pennie McKeller and Barbara Garrett aka Mama B, for making his writing and passion come alive. They introduced him to numerous elements of writing and structures. That knowledge sparked a great interest in him to the point where writing was all he would do for many days at a time. He was branded the name "The Poet" by his piers because he would write poetry in-between classes, after football practice, before bed and when he woke up. He would also sing everyday at lunch time with a group of friends. The hardships of life had pushed him away from his aspirations of becoming a singer/songwriter. However, he has been reacquainted with his first loves(singing and poetry) and is now blowing up every spot he steps foot in with his signature style of songwriting/poetry and performance. With reassurance from his community, close family, his wife Ashley, friends like Brandon Beal, his vocal mentor Ankh Ra Amenhetep, and others who have known him, and self marketing sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube, he is well on his way with no looking back. Brandon recently released his first album Intimate, which is available on all digital platforms, and is looking to release his next few videos from the album. He also caught the acting bug after not only auditioning but booking a lead role in the Michael Green movie Bruthas 321. He is set to be in more projects in the future. Look out world. There is a rising star, and he goes by Brandon Keith.
