The Story
Composer
Gothic Sasquatch (Brandon Wallis) is a composer, songwriter, and producer. Originally a brass concert musician, he progressed into a college radio DJ stint with WMSV, shenanigans within the New Orleans rave scene, then chased live music over the years in venues ranging from intimate juke joints to massive festivals. Acknowledging that the landscape of music is forever changing, he is known for genre-mashups that defy commercial conformity, with projects ranging from darkwave to classical...from dubstep to alt rock. This has earned him a reputation for slipping in and out of genres all while building his personal style.

Recent projects include tributes toward his favorite genres of cinema: horror and science fiction. Having traveled the world as a military veteran, Brandon is a self-made storyteller adamant on producing authentic compositions.
