The tone heard with every fluttering breath is enchanting and mesmerizing. Whether playing a cover tune or an original composition, each song is infused with a spirit and passion all its own.

His variety of soulful melodies induces an invigorating yet calming voice to any musical composition. "My sound is therapeutic. I tailor my melodies with honesty and clarity. I close my eyes and trust my feelings" Reminiscent of the unorthodox introduction of the flute into mainstream music in the 70s and 80s by Jethro Tull member, Ian Anderson, and fellow flutists, Bobbi Humphrey and Hubert Laws, Brandon is now in 2014 again bringing this instrument to the forefront with awesome improvisational skills that permit him to play within any genre.

With over 20 years having past since blowing his first notes on the flute, Brandon has been performing for audiences from local elementary schools to national television shows. Some notable venues are the Word Network's "The Lexi Show," CBS' "Better Mornings" and the annual Sweet Auburn Festival in Atlanta; his last song placement was in the Universal Pictures international theatrical release, Idlewild. Rapper Nicki Minaj has even taken notice of Marceal's awesome improvisational/"freestyle skillz," having named him "Best of the Bass" after singling him out of thousands of submitted videos.
