The English Riviera

As an in demand producer Brando Walker has worked with the likes of Pixie Lott, Toni Romiti, XamVolo & Izzy Bizu, as well as frequently being called to work on projects for some of the worlds most renowned record labels.   

On the 27th of March 2020 Brando Walker is stepping out of the studio to release “The English Riviera”, the first video single from his upcoming E.P “Off The Shelf Vol.1”, a selection of re-edited and sampled tracks pulled quite literally 'off The shelf' from Brando’s vast record collection.

Heavily influenced by the sounds of 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s dance music, Brando has crafted his own brand of disco music using Hip-Hop production techniques. “The English Riviera” video serves as a love letter to his hometown with the footage being taken from a Torbay promotional campaign in 1980’s. 

“A friend sent me this old promotional video as a joke, but when I watched it the video really made me think about my parents, and how their life was at that time growing up in Torbay. My mum was still in her 20’s then so I just found it fascinating to have a little glimpse into what the town and their lives were like before I arrived. I live in London now and have done for the best part of a decade so the video really hit me in the feels and made me super home sick. I decided to make it into a music video because it really blends my love for 70’s and 80’s culture and my Devonshire roots perfectly.”

From a time when Torbay flourished as the go-to holiday destination for families all throughout the UK, Brando’s, “The English Riviera” could just reignite the spotlight on this little piece of English paradise. Tongue in cheek or Summer chic, the video for “The English Riviera” couldn’t have dropped at a more perfect time, as British Summer Time begins.
