The 17-year-old has recently graduated from Good Shepherd Catholic College and said he was ecstatic when he got a message from Kendra.
Kendra asked Braith if she could use his music in her next album.
Listen to Braith’s music here:
Braith’s music falls under the category of electronic and features the upbeat style of melodic dubstep.
Braith formed a passion for the genre after listening to it for about five years.
“Then my curious nature kicked in and I started to produce my own,” he said.
Braith said his work as a McDonald’s crew member helped fund some of the expensive software, which is required to produce the music.
Initially Braith didn’t tell his parents that he was pursuing electronic music producing as a hobby, however they soon caught on.
“I think they realised when my Christmas list started to include some of the equipment and software that I needed,” he said.
Three years ago Braith messaged Kendra Black to ask if she might be willing to use his music.
In April this year Kendra got in touch with Braith for the first time. She said she was putting out a new album and was looking to feature electronic music.
Braith said it was lucky he had branched out into the sub-genre of melodic dubstep because it’s what appealed to Kendra.
Braith sent Kendra 17 songs to chose from.
“She cherry-picked the ones that she wanted,” he said.
Two of Braith’s songs including ‘runaway’ and ‘rain’ were picked by Kendra to feature in her future album.
Braith is excited to have his music producer name ‘Androse’ projected on the album next to Kendra’s.
He said it will result in international recognition.
Braith uploads his music on to SoundCloud, a platform that allows users to listen songs from around the world and share their own.
Braith plans to continue producing music while studying software engineering at university in Brisbane.
Year 12 pastoral leader and music teacher Jade Marinelli said the school was very proud of Braith and all that he had achieved.
