Bio
Brandon Lee Harris (aka Octajohn) grew up in Nashville, Tennessee and was raised being exposed to a very eclectic selection of melodies. His dad produced people like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Loretta Lynn, Kristin Chenoweth, and sang the jingles for Wrigley's Doublemint Gum, Tiger Toy's "Skip-It", and more.
In 2004, Brandon nearly lost his life when falling asleep at the wheel in his car, running into a tree at 55 mph. His music has been greatly inspired by this "close-to-death" encounter.
In 2009, Brandon played bass/keys/MC in a band called, Mikes Pawn Shop. They played at Lollapalooza, South By Southwest, Crawfish Boil Festivals, & more.
Octajohn (Brandon Harris) now lives/performs in New York City & Los Angeles. In 2012, Brandon signed his Octajohn (instrumental-tracks) catalogue to The Synch Box based out of New York to help place his songs in tv/film syncs. Brandon co-wrote theme songs for Game-Show Network's "Lingo", MTV's "Busted", E!'s Forbes Series, and more.
Brandon released a 3-song ep called "Can't Give Up" in 2012 that was engineered/co-produced by Brad Bivens (worked with Landon Pigg, Kings Of Leon, Norah Jones, & more).
Also, Octajohn (Brandon's alias & instrumental side project) released an instrumental EP called "The Landing" in 2006, after one of his tracks appeared in Warren Miller's documentary, "Off The Grid".
