Born in South Jersey in 1994, Brendan G. has always had an affinity towards music. Descendant of Puerto Rican parents means he was exposed to salsa and merengue as a child, forever understanding and implementing the values of having good rhythm. By third grade, these ideas became apparent in his ability to beatbox with little effort for peers who listened in awe.

Unbeknownst to Brendan G., this would expose him to a new fan base of hip-hop heads and emcees who inspired him to try out rapping himself.

Brendan G. began writing rhymes at age 12, just figuring out the concepts of storytelling and making attempts at rhyming perfectly at the end of every bar. By age 15 he was already known for freestyle battling other emcees during school lunch and at after school programs, and at 16 during the summer of 2011, he recorded some of his best writtens and freestyles using a Rock Band USB mic and Audacity for a mixtape that released under the title, “The Summer” (released under a previous moniker ‘MC Adequick’, this title is still available for streaming on DatPiff). This was his first foray into the field of recorded sound, a career field which he pursues at Ramapo College of New Jersey. As such, Brendan G. records, engineers, mixes, and masters all of his music singlehandedly.

Now, at 20 years old, Brendan G. is entering a new chapter of his rap career with the upcoming release of his next mixtape, “The Return”. This mixtape features all new lyrics and beats from local producers, international beatmakers, and Brendan G. himself.

Along with nearly nine years of songwriting experience, Brendan G. has been an avid vocalist since 2009, participating in the New Jersey Honors Jazz Choir in 2011, numerous musicals, jazz acapella groups, and bands throughout. Needless to say, “The Return” marks the first time Brendan G.’s singing ability will be on full display.

He hopes his passion and excitement bleeds through all of his music. Listeners are sure to find qualities of the music they enjoy, no matter their background or musical preference. Brendan G. tends to stray away from the cliché topics apparent in modern mainstream ‘hip-pop’ in the pursuit of something more potent. This is why in all of Brendan G.’s music, you can feel the dedication and authenticity in everything he says. He hopes that, in listening to his music, you appreciate the beauty of life and creativity, and become motivated to pursue your dream as he does every day.
