Three words to describe yourself: free, alive, breathing
Right away Brandon tells me that he's "dishonest about being dishonest," so our whole interview could potentially be a lie, but I think it's mostly true. Brandon is from Atlanta, Georgia but he was raised in different areas. He is in a one-man-band recording all of the instruments. He has played bass since the age of four, drums since seven, guitar since twelve, and plays other instruments such as the mandolin and the banjo. Brandon is also interested in permaculture, or sustainable agriculture modeled on natural relationships. He said, "I believe we should live in the cycle where everything in nature gets used . . . We waste so much. It's not a spiritual way to live." In his life, Brandon would like to "promote people to follow their hearts." He said that he expresses his heart through music and hopes that in doing so, other people are also inspired to follow their hearts. Brandon said that the changing point is when he went hitchhiking and lived in a tent in Florida for a month. He said he was most happy when he had nothing. The book, Into the Wild, and the transcendentalist mindset inspired him to "experience life at its fullest." I asked if there was anything else Brandon would like to do in his life, and he replied, "Wherever the Universe takes me, I'll go." Here is his Facebook page where he has some songs listed: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Raven-Appleseed/310771118963241?v=app_2405167945
