The Braxton Brothers started
their musical journey in 4th grade in the school band and by high school,
were well-versed multi-instrumentalists. Their father's work as a mobile
DJ ensured that there would always be recording equipment in the house, and
the legend goes that they began songwriting at age seven when they got a
hold of some pots and pans and their mother's old tape recorder! The twins
were selected to the California All State Honor Bands several times, before
their paths split in college. Nelson, majoring in tuba performance at San
Francisco State University, toured Europe with the San Francisco Symphony
Youth Orchestra. Meanwhile, at Cal State Northridge, Wayne was a member of
the Jazz A Band, one of the premier collegiate jazz ensembles in the
country. After leaving CSUN, Wayne joined his brother at SFSU, where they
performed together in various groups, including an award winning jazz
quartet; Wayne's involvement in this quartet earned him an award as
outstanding soloist from radio station KJAZ. Spreading the joy further,
both twins were also chosen to the Disney All American collegiate band.
Both have been active on the San Francisco club and studio scene since
their college years, playing in every type of musical situation from big
band and flamenco to funk and acid jazz, and writing original material in
genres as diverse as country and classical. Wayne has toured with Sheila E.
and 13 Cats, and has recorded with Special Generation and the gospel group
Crusade.
