Brandon J. Bagby is an award-nominated music producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Nashville, TN area with well over a decade of professional experience working with Grammy® Award and GMA Dove Award winning artists / groups. Brandon’s professional music journey began in 2004, while attending college in Louisiana, with Vertical Music (once a sub-label of Integrity Music) worship recording artist Jason Morant as his lead guitarist. In 2005, he finished his bachelor's degree and began working in sales. By 2007, he moved into management and directing roles with multiple companies in Baton Rouge, LA. Brandon knew if he continued the career path he was on, he would never have given the dream of a music career a full chance to thrive. In May 2009, Brandon moved to Nashville to pursue career opportunities in music. After working odd jobs, playing gigs, and building lasting relationships within the music community, he was finally able to dive into music opportunities full-time by March 2011.
At the end of 2014, Brandon joined the 2-time Grammy® Award winning group Audio Adrenaline as a member and their lead guitarist. The group garners five GMA Dove Awards, a GOLD®-certified recording, and 14 #1 Christian radio singles. As touring for Audio Adrenaline slowed down in Spring 2017, Brandon was then hired in Fall 2017 as the lead guitarist for Grammy® Award, GMA Dove Award, and KLove Fan Award winning CCM Gospel Music Artist, Mandisa. Mandisa was a former Season 5 contestant on American Idol. Sadly, she passed away from natural causes on April 18, 2024. Over the years, Brandon has toured and performed live with many artists and groups in both Mainstream and Christian markets, such as:

In 2021, Brandon came off the road due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, refocusing his career focus solely in music production, songwriting, artist development, and other business development ventures. During his touring years, Brandon found a love for the music creation process. When he wasn't touring, he would spend his days home in Nashville working in recording studios, recording and producing on various projects within multiple genres of music. Brandon has a passion for encouraging and helping artists bring their music to life! Some of the music he has worked on has even been used for television and film placements with CMT Network, NBC Network, NFL Network, MLB Network, PGA Tour Network, WWE Network, ESPN Network, etc. Not only is Brandon a seasoned music producer, but he is also a multi-instrumentalist; covering roles such as acoustic guitar, audio engineering, banjo, bass guitar, dobro, electric guitar, keys, lap steel, mandolin, piano, programming, resonator guitar, string arrangement, and ukulele.
Because of his love for coaching and equipping the next generation of musicians and entrepreneurs, he has partnered with Camp Electric in Nashville, TN since 2011 for their week long summer camp. From time to time, Brandon will travel and hold worship team workshops at different churches with a team of music industry professionals who have the same heart for growing others. Occasionally, he will speak at universities and colleges across the United States.
Brandon, his wife Rebekah, and their seven children currently reside in a small rural community just south of Nashville, TN. As a family, they love to spend time enjoying the outdoors together by hiking, swimming at waterfalls during the summer months, and vegetable gardening.
