Originally from Florida, Brandon Mayer moved to California with his family during high school.  He went on to study music and documentary film at UCLA.  After living in Spain and New York, he returned to California and, while working as a schoolteacher, made the beautiful full-length Sea of Stars, which was self-released in the fall of 2000, soon after followed by the EP Palm Tree and Culver.

As an ensemble and solo artist, Mayer has toured and performed extensively.  Also a composer, he has written music for theater and films that have been broadcasted on television and performed/screened at festivals throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia.  Mayer lives and works as a teacher in Los Angeles; he also serves as a music lecturer at UCLA.  

A collaboration with producer David Rosa and a collection of LA-Oakland based musicians, Brandon Mayer & the Hidden Powers have completed work on a new full-length recording, Nothing Without Love, which was released in 2007.  It is available at Amoeba Records (Hollywood), iTunes, Amazon.com, and other online outlets.
