Independent Everything LIVE with "The Blonde Phenom" Brandi Li

Born in Chattanooga, TN, and raised by her grandmother, Brandy Li's love for music grew as she used it to escape the harsh realities inflicted by the trauma from her father and his life as an inmate on death row at a maximum security institution for murder (1 of his victims being her mother). Her passion for lyrics blossomed as she'd seek clever rhymes to say on the mic for her uncle who happened to be a successful and local DJ. She was later signed to an indie label where she wrote and recorded with several platinum artists including, Big V of the Nappy Roots and Sutta Kane of Pinney woods who has done songs with The Game, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West. She wrote her current single, Pumpin Gas, while in the studio vibing with a producer in Atlanta, Kevin Freeman, aka. Big Block. They released the song on You Tube to receive a lot of likes and downloads. The song is currently featured on Coast to Coast's mixtape, #NextUp vol. 28. She and Block have since teamed up to do a mix tape and an album together. They hope to release  in 2014 before launching her tour
