Musician

Brandon Sanders was born on February 20, 1971 in Kansas City, Kansas. When he was nearly two years old, his mother moved with him to Los Angeles. He spent his formative years in Compton, growing up in a musical household. His mom played the violin and his stepfather played the trombone. The sounds of jazz were a constant presence in his home. “Jazz music was always around," he says. “You know in my house, my stepdad, who I call my father, played the music, through the radio and his records.” During his teens, Brandon started compiling his own now-massive collection of jazz albums (which he numbers at more than 30,000!).
