Brandon Stevens is the rare vocalist with the ability to glide from classic Soul, to Funk, to modern R&B and Pop, with ease and conviction. Since the mid-2000s, his smooth, silky voice has carved its own space in the hearts of audiences from the U.S. to Europe. Brandon’s versatility and command of the stage have built him a loyal following who consistently fill venues across the Carolinas for his performances. The breadth of his experience, dedication to his craft, and rapport with his audience are undoubtedly converging at the perfect time to reveal one of music’s rising stars. 

Growing up in Lexington, South Carolina, Brandon was heavily inspired by artists like Marvin Gaye, Take 6, Brian McKnight, and The Winans. He began developing his voice, writing songs, and playing piano as a pre-teen. While earning a degree in graphic design from Winthrop University, Brandon's passion for music continued to grow. He quickly became a favorite at campus talent shows and open mics. He also wrote and co-produced several songs that were featured on an independently-released album featuring all student talent.

Following college, Brandon formed the R&B/Hip-Hop band Mellogroove with two undergrad classmates. They developed their sound in Rock Hill, South Carolina clubs, and would go on to open for several international artists, including The Nappy Roots, Christopher Williams, and Calvin Richardson. In 2019, Mellogroove was honored by the City of Rock Hill as a Historic Musical Group.

During a ten-year stint with renowned Soul/Beach music group Chairmen of the Board, Brandon lit up the Southeastern U.S. festival and theatre circuit, and completed two critically-acclaimed UK tours. The Funk and Soul Revue said of the Chairmen’s 2018 London performance, “it was Brandon Stevens who really impressed on his lead vocals. His powerful, churchy voice was a real delight to hear.” The Chairmen’s 2017 album ‘Words Left Unsaid’ features songs written by Melvin and Mervin Steals, the twin brothers who penned The Spinners’ classic ‘Could It Be I’m Falling In Love.’ Brandon shines on the lead vocals for ‘All I Need Is You Tonight’ and ‘Each Morning I Wake Up,’ a remake of Major Harris’ 1975 hit.

Brandon’s single ‘What If,’ released in January 2024, showcases his impressive vocal range. The song expresses a man's regret for the things he didn't do to keep his relationship strong. Written and produced by Producer/Songwriter/Guitarist David P. Stevens (whose credits include Will Downing and Maysa), it hearkens back to the classic Motown sound, yet fits nicely in place with Contemporary R&B.
