Artist Bio

Born in Building 6 in Nürnberg, Germany in 2004, Live N' Breathe played at a birthday party for an 18 year old German girl. It was the 4-piece band's first show. As that gig progressed, many people, including agents and musicians, and even a recording company, flocked to the scene. The crowd, gathered with the help of modern technology, came to witness what became a massive gig that opened the door to a wealth of incredible opportunities. Happy birthday to her, and happy birthday to Live N' Breathe. In 2009, frontman Bryan Wilson Bande retooled the band with a new line-up of musicians. Burned out, and struck with the realization that being a musician is a life and not a lifestyle, he sent 3 of the original members home to girlfriends and moms. Bryan said,"It is only a fitting tribute to the fans and the family and friends who supported us and the over... maybe 50 or 60,000 CDs we have sold now over several demo releases,to continue. I would have never quit, but the fact that the albums kept selling was a constant source of motivation and income." In 2010, the band picked up a corporate sponsor, Bully Bling Energy, and will embark on an aggressive 70+-show college tour in 2010-2011. As a unit, this band is about to be road-tested for the first time, but as a brand, Live N' Breathe has played some of the highest-profile shows in America, from the CMJs to a DAV concert at Quantico Marine Base, as well as sold-out concert halls all over Europe. Live N' Breathe has enjoyed high chart positions on indie radio stations, as well as internet charts, such as OurStage. Live N' Breathe has received newsprint write-ups, blog posts, and radio shout-outs, and continues to be fun yet controversial. Live N' Breathe has received approximately 2 million song plays, and over half a million profile views on MySpace. Bryan often credits MySpace for the band's break into America. 2011 is expected to be their biggest year yet!
