About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Brandon Reihana ex guitarist for Blindspott has now ventured of on his own to pursue his childhood dream, an all instrumental guitar album.
Brandon has toured the world with band Blindspott and achieved a world first buy being the first person in New Zealand to be endorsed by IBANEZ GUITARS. " It was a dream to be endorsed by Ibanez as I have been playing these guitars most of my guitar career", "My favorite players all used Ibanez!!"
Brandon is working on his debut album which is based on his own personal experiences in life, Brandon says," Alot of the songs I write start with what I am feeling at the time lets say a break up or if I am angry at someone they all come through in my songs and are what my songs are based on". "I write songs that are connected to people that I love or dislike and even personal life lessons".
