Brandon "OnBrand" Stuart, a native and current resident of Detroit, is an interdisciplinary artist whose creative work in music, acting, and movement focuses on contextualizing facets of the millennial experience. The context of his millennial experience, graduating college during the recession of the late 2000s, has been balancing the need for financial stability with persistent resolve to realize personal truths through disciplined, healing efforts. These efforts include, following a plant-based diet, meditation and yoga, resistance training, language learning, to name a few, and have changed his quality of life making it possible to grow holistically as a human being and purposefully as an artist.
Brandon is the founder and chief creative artist of ICONICLASS, a creative arts collective that affords him unique opportunities to interconnect his skills and ideas as a multi-hyphenate with fellow artists from different mediums and modalities while collaborating on professional projects. He is a 2020 Unstoppable Voters Project grant recipient through the Center for Artistic Activism (C4AA) for which he designed and led a creative voting rights project called “Float The Vote”. In Spring 2024, he participated in Music to Life's Music Changemaker Accelerator Academy where he developed and recently facilitated his pilot project "Composing Wellness", a 12-week workshop series that combines live music with yoga and movement practice.
Brandon holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Behavioral Biology and East Asian Studies from Johns Hopkins University; a Master of Liberal Arts degree from the University of Chicago; and teaching certifications in Pilates and alignment-based yoga.
