Soon after the passing of his idol, Robert began dedicating his talents to pay tribute to the late superstar with an electrifying live tribute show complete with an extensive George Michael wardrobe, dancing, and live vocals (no lip-syncing here!).

Brandon William
I always knew I wanted to write music since I was 6 years old growing up in Joshua Tree, However, I was encouraged to go to school and get a job in the medical profession from a young age. I wrote all through high school. I didn’t start taking it seriously until I was 28, I had just graduated nursing school and was in my first job post license and working on my next degree. Working in the ER being around life and death, something told me to start, now or never, we get one life I had virtually no equipment and had almost no associates or friends living that life style. Since then I’ve made friends and connections heavily involved in music and production I bought equipment and began recording, however I didn’t release anything until after having a life changing experience with a stranger on NYE 2021. It made me determined to put my songs out there and see who I can connected with… I connected with an artist on tik tok that is mixed and coproduced my first single “To death”, he’s now a professionally paid touring musician, super cool dude, made me realize that it was possible for me to release music… My goals really changed after I met a drummer/engineer Greg Gordon through my brother. He’s guided me in production and gives honest feet on my songwriting, he’s changed the way I hear music… This has all led me to believe there is a future in creativity as I continue to work in the studio with my songwriting and develop my live sound. I’ve always written about my life or parallel experiences for myself to have an outlet for my mental health, however at this point it is my goal to connect with people in a way that it benefits their mental health. A song can change the world and you never know who’s world you can positively impact.
