Pride

Sporting a sparkling smile, Brandon brings an immeasurable amount of energy to every Bizar Entertainment party! A true asset to the chemistry of any successful event, Brandon has a deep understanding of music, dance and people.

A graduate of Northern Illinois University and a talented percussionist/instructor, Brandon devotes his time to music, family and friends.

Besides entertaining at parties, Brandon has made a commitment to children and speaks at schools on topics of self-esteem, anti-drugs, and conflict resolution. He has created unique and powerful programs for elementary, jr. & high schools using his characters Dr. Cool and Pride™. He speaks at over seventy-five schools a year and receives hundreds of pieces of fan mail.

At Junior Highs and High Schools, Brandon Brown is a unique speaker with a special story. He usually starts off by asking kids what nationality they think he is.  After taking guesses, he tells them he is a mix of five different cultures. Most of them aren’t normally guessed. He points out that in today’s world, anybody can do anything. Regardless of where they come from.

Brandon continues by asking who has plans for college. He tells his story of how his parents, who didn’t go to college, wanted him to go. After attending Harper, he tried out for the school of music at Northern Illinois. He actually reenacts this by playing the drums and then waiting for the call. He finds out he beat out 40 kids and was ranked 15. Unfortunately, only the top 8 make it. Brandon has a dilemma. He spent 3 hours a day for six months to prepare. He wanted his life to be drumming. What could he do?

One of his main messages is that life throws you roadblocks.  When that happens, you need to go around them or take a Detour.  Brandon goes on to explain how he tried out for the drum line and not only made it, but wound up being it’s captain for 2 years. He also was invited to play in the school’s steel drum band.  So although he didn’t get into the school of music, he did find a way to make drumming a huge part of his life. He ends his story of success by describing entering Ohio State University’s stadium filled with 104,000 people. The band waits for the captain to start the band... The guy who didn’t make the school of music. Brandon then wows the crowd by playing the drums one last time.
