Brainorchestra has been shaping his sound since 14 years old. The Elizabeth resident randomly found & opened FL Studio on a school computer & was later introduced to the Maschine controller by a neighbor - eventually purchasing his own. Now, over 10 years later, Brainorchestra has made a household name for himself out of NJ & within a vast community online of “soundcloud” & Bandcamp producers / rappers that shaped their very own careers & paths for all alike. Brainorchestra specializes in live performance of self produced instrumental beat + rap sets combined for a unique experience. Since sampling is his secret weapon, you will always hear nostalgic references & reimagined music + history in his own way. On top of that, has become a catalyst for independent releasing of digital / physical music + goods - such as clothes, vinyl records, cassettes & much more. Driven by his audience & the vastness of music overall, he strives to continue to provide a fresh approach inspired by music all through history, while being directly connected to the consumer base that supports him. This three gentlemen are a sight for sore-eyes and if you want more music from them, show them some love and check them out.
