Aly (aka Brandon Simpson) has become a musical triple threat, excelling in songwriting, producing and performing. A self-taught producer and guitarist, Aly is proficient in Logic Pro 9 recording software and is a multi-instrumentalist who played the trumpet, piano and violin as a child. Prior to pursuing his dream of becoming a recording artist, Aly was an accomplished track and field athlete who was ranked No. 2 in the world in the 400 meters. He also won multiple world championship medals and competed in the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games. Shortly after retiring from track and field, Aly began a profession in health coaching, motivating individuals to achieve their fitness goals as the founder of BeYouToFullHealth. In early 2012, Aly’s passion for music ignited when he desired to learn the timeless craft of playing the guitar. Building upon his newfound artistry, Aly began developing his songwriting skills by writing music for himself as well as up-and-coming vocalists. In October 2012, Aly’s first project was released, entitled Made From Scratch, which Aly solely wrote and produced. Influenced by Bob Marley and Jah Cure and the smooth sound of Sade, Aly’s style is a blend of reggae and neo-soul. However, he has the ability to step outside of his style due to his extensive travel which developed his appreciation for different sounds. Aly is currently collaborating with other emerging artists utilizing his songwriting and producing skills. He is also in the process of hosting a showcase and booking performances.
