Brandon Metcalf is a record producer and entrepreneur. In 2005, he founded Destiny Collective, a network of businesses in the music and merchandising industries. He was originally a Seattle-based music producer but as of August 2012 is now based primarily out of Nashville.[1]
History: Teenage years
Starting in the 6th grade, Metcalf was a paperboy.[2] At age 13, he took savings from the paper route job and purchased a set of turntables after deciding he wanted to be a DJ. Adopting the nickname FADE, he spent his teenage years DJ’ing at competitions, school dances, clubs, and weddings. He started his first official business at age 15 which was a wedding DJ business. At age 13 he wrote and recorded his own hip hop album, using beats he made on the computer and sampled from vinyl records. At age 16, he upgraded to Pro Tools software and recorded local acoustic projects out of his parents home.[2]
Destiny Collective
At age 19, Brandon sold the DJ company, dropped out of Brigham Young University, and purchased a home to build a studio in. He started a new company called Destiny Collective to focus on artist development, record production, and merchandising.[2] The parent corporation includes successful ventures shirtsforgreeks.com, specializing in collegiate and Greek apparel,[3] and the newly launched Destiny Nashville, a recording studio and production company on music row.[4]
