Brandon at the suggestion of a dear family friend, did his first photo shoot at the age of 16. Before the photographer could finish posting a few photos on Facebook, he was receiving messages from local agency's to sign. His early local modeling had him on bill boards for Ron Jon in Florida and consistently in local newspaper circular advertising. While still in High School he had signed with Click Model Management in NY and was on his way to the Big Apple at the age of 18 soon after graduation. Brandon Antonio Gomes was born in Sarasota Florida famously known for Siesta Key Beach. He graduated from Riverview High School where he played football for the Riverview Rams. As his football career was developing he had to make a decision to continue with football in College or pursue a career in the Entertainment Industry. This seemed to be an easy decision for Brandon. Brandon saw modeling as an opportunity to open doors into the Entertainment Industry and he's always had a passion for music and even as a small child would continuously create beats on everything!! Creating beats with pencils on tables, pots and pans, Everything!! His time in NY created opportunities to meet other musicians making their early start in the industry. The winter months brought him back to Florida, signing with modeling Agency in Miami MC2, and allowed him to spend more time in the studio working on his music with Producer EJ of Drummer Boy Entertainment, and is excited to have some collaborations in the works. His connections in Florida also created an opportunity to star in a supporting role as Danny in the Sarasota Film Festival Premier of "The First Time Club" directed by KT Curan , The movie also features some of Brandon's music with "Different Persona" in the Sound Track. As the movie was winding down, another door opened as child hood friend, Alex Kompothacras approached him to work with him on a Docu Drama type Reality TV show based on Alex's life here on Siesta Key.
