The young mastermind also served as his own sound engineer and supervised the mixing and mastering process performed by George Ware of MacMoney Studios in El Paso, TX.
“Who knows, like I told his mom, this kid could be the next Prince. Prince did the same thing when he started out. He played all his instruments and he sang, but Prince was 19 when he started, and Brandon is only 12,” said Ware.
