A quiet, yet inquisitive child, Brandon often entertained himself with comic books, drawing and writing imaginative short stories. Though he did not come from a musical family, Brandon's father was an avid listener of Parliament Funakdelic which would become the first music that Brandon remembers hearing as a child. Brandon's mother built him his first home made guitar after seeing him try to use a baseball in place of the instrument.

Seeing the growing poverty and crime in the inner city of Milwaukee, Brandon's father moved the family to Virginia Beach, Virginia when he was 11 years old. On his eighteenth Christmas Brandon's mother surprised him with an electric guitar. A primarily self-taught musician, Brandon practiced playing guitar sometimes 10 to 12 hours a day trying to imitate any sound that he heard with the instrument.

Over the next 4 years Brandon would play in various Soul, R&B, Hip Hop, Rock and Gospel bands in the Hampton Roads area. During this time he would play alongside the likes of Jazmine Sullivan, Jaguar Wright, The Clips, and Kool Kids, Eric Benet and more. In a relatively short amount of time, Brandon Jarod become one of the areas top guitar players garnering comparisons to John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.

With the help of his father Brandon stated Nicobe Records and released his debut EP "The Crush" in late 2010. The EP made a big impact in the local scene, firmly establishing Brandon Jarod's emerging distinctive guitar playing, introspective song writing and smooth, sandy vocal style. After spending the next 2 years touring in promotion of the album, Brandon Jarod gears up to release his followup entitled "The Age of Zero" on November 18, 2013.
