But despite the world crashing to a complete halt, the one thing artist Brandon Anderson wasn’t going to do is stop chasing his dream. Known as B.Anderson, the Greenhouse artist already had a project in the works, but once the quarantine blues hit, it didn’t feel right to put a project out that no longer related to him and the situation around us. So he hopped back into the booth to create his new project, Bellflower. Having spent many Summers and Winters with his family in Bellflower, CA, Anderson felt the year taught him a lot about re-familiarizing himself with LA and the artist LA coached him to be. Moving in full grind mode until he felt the project was complete, Anderson said this is one of his most honest projects to date.

While preparing for this interview, I asked Anderson if I could listen to the upcoming EP to see what the Dallas-Fort Worth artist had been working on during one of the most challenging years for aspiring artists. He sent the link shortly after and it did not disappoint. From the beat selection to the lyricism to the switches in his flow, the EP is a clear representation of all the principles that he stands for, like discipline and progression. It’s almost impossible to compare the project to Greenhouse, due to the high contrast in style between the two. As I took a deeper dive into the project, it seemed like Anderson knew this all along too. Like a snake shedding its skin to prepare for new growth, Anderson prepared himself to show the world a different level of artistry. It’s the first project with a photograph of himself on the cover rather than an animated character, and Bellflower will be his longest project to date. But the most notable change was his newly adopted alias, Bando.
