Brandon Akira

Brandon Akira is an American actor, singer, and songwriter. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Brandon has been singing, dancing, modeling, and acting since age 9. His career in entertainment all started when he earned an opportunity to begin modeling for clothing companies ranging from DKNY to Tommy Hilfiger. He eventually branched into music, where his natural talent was discovered at a very young age. This was around the time when boy bands like the Backstreet Boys & NSYNC were selling records in the tens of millions and almost overnight, the biggest record companies in the music industry were looking to create "heartthrob sensations" of their own to compete with the rapidly growing trend. By age 11, Brandon was heavily into singing and acting and eventually had to choose between becoming a "'Mickey Mouse Club Kid' On The Disney Channel," or becoming a member of a new, young male pop group that a few prominent industry A&R Reps were forming.
