Lynwood’s own Brandon Marquiste is one of the most talented up and coming artist out the city. His childhood was steady, simple, and rooted in sports—just a good kid with a basketball in his hands and a clear path ahead. Everything shifted with the loss of his grandfather, the man who wasn’t just family but a father figure, a role model, and the anchor in his life. That kind of pain has a way of rearranging a person from the inside out, and for Brandon, it opened the door to a new outlet he never expected: music.
At 16, he started making beats, not yet knowing it would turn into something real. A year later, he picked up the pen and began writing his own lyrics, discovering a voice he didn’t know he had. The more he created, the more he realized music wasn’t just a hobby—it was therapy, expression, and direction.
His artistry is built on the sounds that raised him. Brandon grew up on legends—2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Hot Boyz, DMX, Jay-Z, and Biggie—artists who shaped entire eras and taught him what raw honesty and presence sound like. You can hear those influences in his work, but his style is his own. Ask him to describe it, and he keeps it simple: “Unique, different, great.” And he means it.
Most of Brandon’s music has been crafted in different studios across the city—anywhere he could lock in, zone out, and build. While other kids were hanging out at clubs or running around chasing moments, Brandon was focused on stacking, hustling, and figuring out how to create something bigger for himself. The neighborhood, the grind, the local trap spots—those were his classrooms. That’s where his hunger was shaped.
His latest release, “Missed Calls,” continues that story with honesty and grit, showing fans exactly where his head and heart are right now. And he isn’t slowing down. Brandon is dropping a new single every three weeks, staying consistent and building a wave that’s starting to catch attention far beyond Lynwood.
Through it all, he keeps his gratitude close. Before anything else, he credits God. And right beside that, he thanks every supporter who believes in him, listens to him, and pushes him to keep going.
Brandon Marquiste’s journey is still unfolding, but one thing is clear—he’s moving with purpose, resilience, and a sound that’s only getting sharper. The work speaks for itself. And the best part? He’s just getting started.
