Jim Bruce of Galloway and George Kidder of Logan co-owners of Access Talent are announcing this achievement for the second time. Originally Access Talent signed Brandi to a contract when she was only 10 years old and that was 13 years ago.

Now 23, Brandi has decided after 5 years of performing locally; she is now ready to take her career to the next level. Access Talent last worked with Brandi in 2003 and at that time she was one of the premier performers in the Midwest. Brandi’s grandmother was the driving force behind Brandi’s career when her grandmother died of cancer in 2004. At the age of 17 Brandi decided that she needed a break from her music career and other than an occasional local performance she tried to work a normal job and pursued other careers. Jim Bruce of Access Talent remained close and Brandi suggested she might like to perform again. She suggested Access Talent help her get a band together and “lets give it try”.

Brandi is a singer/songwriter that loves to perform before large and small crowds. She has performed at hundreds of fairs and festivals, clubs, conventions, private parties, veteran groups, picnics, reunions and benefits. By the age of 12 Brandi had won numerous talent contests including Loretta Lynn’s Talent Contest held at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. In Las Vegas, Nevada she won the coveted awards of CMAA’s National Awards for Vocalist and Rising Star Female Entertainer of the Year. At the age of 15 the Ohio Country and Western Music Association awarded Brandi Ohio’s Entertainer and Best Female Vocalist of the Year. Brandi has had the privilege of performing on numerous television shows and in 2003 Brandi’s musical talents were featured on NHK-TV in Japan and telecast worldwide.

When Brandi was a very young lady her Grandfather took her to a live concert. He noticed that Brandi was shaking and crying while watching the show. He asked her “Why are you crying?” She said “This is what I want to do, Grandpa. I want to be an entertainer.”
