Brandon Hixson began writing music when he was ten years old. The very first song he wrote was a song dedicated to his friend, Courtney. He wrote down the lyrics in his trapper keeper and recorded the song on his portable cassette player. He played the song for his friend the next day. Brandon joined the band and choir and majored in Music in College. He even earned a Master’s Degree in Worship Leadership in 2018. Brandon joined his first band, Godfueled, when he was in college. They released their debut album in 2004. “We were so thrilled to have had all 1,000 copies of our album sell in Dawson, Texas,” Hixson admitted. “We really thought we had made it big!” Brandon joined the Dallas Christian outfit, Racing Gravity in 2009. Their debut album included, Only By His Grace, a single which landed on the playlist of many stations across the United States. It also served as the theme to the movie, “One Church” starring Jessica Lynch.
