I'm Brandon aka Birocratic - a Brooklyn-based beatmaker, engineer, and musician.

I've been producing beats since 2012, gathering over 25MM plays on Spotify, and taking me across the world to venues like Red Rocks in Colorado and the legendary Le Batofar in Paris.

I spent 4 years helping launch Chillhop Music, one of the most popular YouTube music channels for chilled-out instrumentals. I was their mastering engineer for hundreds of releases before beginning my touring career.

Graduated from NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music 2015 with a BFA Recorded Music.
