Brandon Bauder

Brandon Bauder was born in Allentown, Pa. He was raised in an eclectic and diverse Family. Through his surroundings, he grew up a lover of many genres from: the blues, to rock,  western, classic rock, oldies all the way up to Tupac, or Tchaikovsky.


However HIPHOP would be the genre that he fell in love with as a teen and ultimately would shape his entire life for  10 years.

In 2003 he reconnected with his childhood friend  and artist Miguel Torres Jr aka R.E.G. The two released one album, "Darkness Unfolds " as the production duo A.M.M. with REG focusing more on the musical end and Brandon on the promotional side.


 In 2005 R.E.G. teamed up with Unify Entertainment's Adrian Zumbado, where he would record his acclaimed album "Melancholy Red" which was nominated for several LVMA Awards that year.

Brandon was brought on board by Miguel and Zumbado. There he would absorb as much knowledge from his peers as he focused on   promotion,marketing and becoming a better professional.


That's when Brandon started creating events at Brenda and Jerry's. There he would find the best regional talent to perform in his DiVerSe Hip Hop Showcase. This led to finding his headliner and future business partner Katrel Kelly aka Trel Mack. 


In 2007 He started as an  Assistant for Street Knowledge Entertainment.

At S.K.E he would aspire to be an A&R for a major label one day, but soon realized they could be that themselves as they were billed as "The Next Roc-A-Fella Records" according to many online publications such as HIPHOPDX.

There, Brandon would become their A&R as well as doubling as Quinton's personal assistant (team work). They would release   three highly praised albums by Trel Mack:  Mack of the Year,New Dynasty and Inspired by Greatness.  He helped in the marketing and promotion of various albums and mixtapes for artists from all over the globe thanks to the distribution capabilities of Quinton Hatfield and Katrel Kelly.


S.K.E. and Brandon also helped introduce DJ Khaled  Co-Signed Carlito Rossi and ,at the time, Shady Record's Cashis. The duo released their highly anticipated mixtape "The Usual Suspects" and would receive critical acclaim.

Now he resides in Northampton where he has found his dream as a father of two boys, his 3 year old daughter and teaching her Guitar.

Now Brandon looks forward to getting involved in the ABE Regional Music Awards and learning stage management from Sam Younes and doing his part to build a better foundation for local artists.
