THE ARTIST

Brande Pa’trice is a R&B / Pop / Rap genre style recording artist, pianist, keytarist, and songwriter from Memphis, TN. Bringing a unique flavor, Brande enhances the underground scene with her stage presence by incorporating her resume of dance choreography and majorette talents. Her influences are MC Hammer, Teddy Riley, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston. She is a graduate of Texas Southern University with a BA in Entertainment and the Recording Industry with a specialty in Business, and a Certification in Music Business from Houston Community College. She is also a proud alumni of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society.

Prestigiously, Brande Pa'trice is a former majorette of Hamilton High School in Memphis, Tennessee, and majorette captain of Texas Southern University “Ocean of Soul Marching Band”. Though she has been dancing since the tender age of five, now a more seasoned entertainer, Brande Pa'trice is noted as the Rising New Artist of Memphis, TN with credited performances at Super Bowl XXXVIII with Janet Jackson, Nelly, Diddy, and Kid Rock with Texas Southern University, and the Dodge Dress Houston Annual Fashion Expo 2010-2015 causing critics to label her the "Queen of Innovation". Later expanding her talents in genres such as Urban, Pop, R&B and Rap to name a few, she has performed halftime for the Harlem Globetrotters and Headlined for Flower of Power in Austin, Texas.

I knew I wanted to be in the music business because I had always dreamed of being part of a singing group. As early as fifth grade, I loved singing anywhere I could—at car washes during majorette fundraisers and on street corners with my friends whenever the opportunity came up. In high school, I even wanted to form a group with three of my closest friends, which further confirmed that music was something I truly wanted to pursue.

When I joined the show choir in high school, the group was small, but it became an important space for me. It allowed me the time and freedom to learn, grow, and truly shine in both singing and dancing.

Eventually, by the time I got to college, I was fully committed to a path in the music business. I set my sights on starting my own record label, though at first, I didn’t really think I’d end up as a performer myself. It’s funny, considering how much of my life had always revolved around performing—singing, dancing, acting, you name it.

Around 2006, things got more serious. I started working on a music business certification and diving into audio engineering. I still saw myself behind the scenes—until one day, I had this realization: why was I selling myself short? I could absolutely do this. From that moment on, I decided to pursue not just the business side but also my own career as a performer.

Later, when I was at Texas Southern University, I caught the attention of Mathew Knowles, the head of Music World Entertainment, because I was taking his music business courses. He saw my work and encouraged me to really focus on what I truly wanted: to perform and make music.

A few years later, I released my first EP, “Baddie Boss” by Brandē, and things just took off from there. I became the president of M.E.I.S.A., joined Grammy U, and took all the steps I needed to become the entertainer and recording artist I am today. I booked college shows, put on events at school and around Houston, and really made sure I was doing everything necessary to get to where I wanted to be.

Her career launched with the release of the 2015 EP, Baddie Boss and the single Bouji, both highlighting her bold persona and unapologetic energy. She followed this with Murder Dress in 2016, an edgy and memorable single that marked her growing artistry. In 2017, Brandē dropped her debut album, Finger Waves & Cupcakes, a project celebrated for its playful yet introspective vibe.

Brandē’s versatility shined through holiday releases like Bucking Around the Christmas Tree (2018) , The Christmas Song (2020), and the Apple charted song Have Yourself a Merry Christmas (2021). Her 2018 project, Bad B Certified became a standout streaming album with 300,000+, affirming her status as a voice for empowerment and confidence. Singles such as Hashtag Me and Bad B (2019) solidified her knack for creating infectious, personality-packed tracks.

In 2020, she showcased her narrative depth with the album Pink Cadillac Dreams, followed by a flurry of standout singles in 2021, including Can’t Give Up, Oil, and WIG (Winning in Greatness). The release of Sexfidence in the same year became a testament to her ability to inspire confidence and self-love through rock music.

Expanding her artistry further, Brandē released B’Akademy: A Ghetto High School Musical in 2022, a theatrical and bold project, and continued to build momentum with projects like Kountry Mane and TNT (Teeth & Titties) in 2023.

In 2024, she continued to innovate with releases like I Don’t Wanna Lose Your Love and Murder Dress (Toxic Version). Her forthcoming project, Band-Aid Love Single Album, promises to explore new emotional and musical dimensions.
