Marcos showed me this song in 2014 and we instantly clicked on where we saw the song going. 6 years later I finally got enough instruments to record a full band version. He recorded his vocals in Weslaco, Texas while I recorded the rest in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Baby of Mine

Written by Brandon Ortega in 2014 in Weslaco, Texas.

A song that stands for people deserving equal treatment.

It was inspired by the movie "Normal Heart" which shared stories of how poorly people were treated that contracted AIDS in the 1980's.

Down to This

In late 2014 I was on the phone with my future wife and started making up a riff to put her to sleep. That eventually become "Into the Night." Evolved into a dark song about insomnia and nightmares. It's a track I've never been able to play live with a full band, but a garage recording session in Albuquerque brought it to life in 2019.

Into The Night

Started writing songs in 2005

Moved from out of California in 2011 and have been cutting demos of songs ever since. These are songs I've written mostly with my buddy, the brilliant Marcos Munoz. We've never really shared a songs online besides live streaming a few performances here and there.

Music is a passion first and foremost. I’ve recorded in my garage and houses over the years. These are the songs that we've been creating.
