A conversation with Brandon Kinder, a musician who’s been putting out records for over a decade with his band The Rocketboys and his solo project The Wealthy West. His music has been compared to the likes of Bon Iver and Band of Horses, and written about in Rolling Stone, Paste, and American Songwriter, and many more.

He’s landed placements in dozens of commercials, films, and television shows.

Since we’ve spoken to a sync agent and a music supervisor, we thought we would round out the trilogy with a musician’s side of getting music placements.
