Brando

**Brando (Marlon Lamont McClain II)** is a Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter who kicked off his music journey writing songs at just 12 years old, following in the footsteps of his dad, Marlon McClain, from the funk bands Dazz Band and Pleasure. He burst onto the scene in the EDM world with his killer vocals on Loud Luxury's massive 2018 hit "Body," which went multi-platinum everywhere from Australia to the UK and US, landing at #7 on the ARIA charts.

After that global smash, Brando signed with Armada Music and dove into his solo career, mixing smooth R&B, pop, and electronic vibes—think his 2020 banger "Look Into My Eyes," which topped Aussie radio for 10 weeks and snagged ARIA Gold. He's dropped cool projects like the 2021 *Slip N Slide* EP (with tracks like "Close to You") and 2024's *Shut Up & Dance* album plus *We Do This* EP, keeping the dance-pop energy alive.
