bio.
Braden
McDonald began studying music around age five. While studying classical
piano during his school years, Braden began to try out other
instruments and play with bands, buying his first synthesizer in the
mid-1980's.
|
|
In
college, Braden finished his study of classical piano and music theory
and shifted his focus to exploring electronic music, sequencing, and
audio production. He also continued to play with bands and began to
work on singing.
|
|
|
|
|
After
graduation, he expanded his audio production skills by working in a
handful of recording studios as well as continuing to turn out his
independent recording projects.
|
|
|
|
In
1995, Braden gave his life to Jesus Christ, and his music began to
express his newfound joy, peace, and purpose. Practicing singing turned
out to be a good thing, as he now found he had some things he wanted to
sing about, releasing New Life, a mostly lyrical album, in 1996.

|
Braden
also began to play in worship bands in church and eventually to lead
worship, which he still does today. Worship has become as much a
passion as beautiful, moody instrumental music to Braden, and his 2003
release, Creation, demonstrates that he enjoys blurring lines of distinction between the two.
|
|
In
2000, having several friends eager to utilize his production abilities,
Braden started Last Lamb Productions (LLP) and promptly went to work
making albums for people. Numerous albums and a move across the country
later, LLP went into some level of dormancy, as Braden determined to
refocus his attention on other priorities.
|
|
Currently,
Braden spends time studying the Bible, enjoying the outdoors,
worshiping and fellowshiping with other followers of Christ, and
writing new music.
