jay brannan

Jay Brannan説他的家人是“保守的浸禮宗教徒”。Brannan在俄亥俄州辛辛那提讀過一個學期的大學，隨後他和一名他在網上認識的男子一起遠行到了加利福尼亞州，他們首先在棕櫚泉短暫居留，後來他去到了洛杉磯，試圖成為一名演員。2002年他和男友結束了戀愛關係，然後接到了一家公司的試鏡通知，於是他搬到了紐約市，並提交了自己的試鏡帶。

Brannan於2003年在電影《性愛巴士》裏出演了一個角色，他在這部電影裏大膽的性愛場景令人印象尤深。與此同時，他還找了一份校對的工作來養活自己。他的一首歌《soda shop》被電影作為配樂，這是他的第一個專業錄製曲目。後來，Brannan開始在You Tube上上傳自己的音樂視頻，這使得他在沒有任何企業贊助的情況下吸引了一大批國際粉絲羣。

2007年他在電影《Holding Trevor》中扮演主角的一個性夥伴，還發行了一張限量版的單曲。

2008年7月，Brannan自己發行了名為《Goddamned》的專輯。同一年，他辭退了他的校對工作，完全靠專輯和演唱會收入來養活自己。

他的第二張專輯《In Living Cover》在2009年發行，並於2009年7月25日登上TOP HEATSEEKERS排行榜的第十名。

第三張專輯《ROB ME BLIND》預計在2012年3月27日開始發售。目前該專輯在iTUNES上的PRE ORDER CHART上穩定在21位左右。

jay brannan was born under a rock in the coldest part of the himalayas where he was raised by trappist monks who taught him to maintain his body temperature without the necessity of food and clothing through intense meditation and really hard drinking. shortly after his first birthday, he suffered a graphic and painful death to a hungry mountain lion who wasn't so good at meditation and just needed a hearty snack. it wasn't long however before jay's indomitable spirit reappeared in southeast texas to a family who actually wanted a girl. in many ways,they got what they wanted, yet the compromise seemed to be much more controversial than the original disappointment. after years and years of southern baptist immersion in texas, canada, and oklahoma, jay found himself once again outside houston, TX, continuing in the public school system (quite similar to cattle herding, state prisons, or perhaps eventhe new york city healthcare system) and a conservative, repressive society infiltrated by a mixture of religion, rebellion, used car lots,and lots of barbecue (the latter being the most repulsive?).

by 1999, jay really threw a dildo in a small town's gears when he decided that he hated high school so much that he would graduate in three years. he then moved on to scarier territories by attending the university of cincinnati's acting program where he was kicked out after six months because they no longer needed his slave labor services to build sets for the musical theatre and opera students. it was quite the blessing in disguise, however. rather than transferring to another school and wasting more time and money going to college for a degree only slightly more useful than aromatherapy, he moved to palm springs,CA, to live with a man he met on the internet.

obviously that didn't last long.

in a matter of months, jay found himself living in los angeles, CA, in atiny studio apartment off the sunset strip. what a star, huh? well, eventually the bathroom of that studio fell through into the garage below. so jay moved in with the guy he had been dating for a whole month. i mean, the guy's roommate had moved out...the timing was perfect, right?

after that, jay moved into another little apartment in hollywood where he remained for about a year until moving to new york city where he has currently resided for six years.

see what happens when you make me talk about my past? if you think this bio is long and boring, all the good stuff happened in between the lines. oh shit, was i supposed to say something about music in here??

相較於擁有眾多瘋狂歌詞的成名歌手來説,Brannan是默默無聞的,儘管他已經擁有了一批死忠的支持者,但目前尚未有人為他籌資出專輯,也沒有任何的唱片公司於他接洽.但他依然很努力得創作歌曲,這點從他個人網站上不斷更新的視頻創作歌曲就可以看出.

他相信,網絡是萬能的,只要他堅持繼續創作,喜歡他的人也會一如既往的喜歡他.總有一天,兩條平行線會交織在一起.。
