Brandon Seavers
Co-Founder & CEO
With a wealth of expertise spanning nearly three decades in the music and media manufacturing biz, Brandon is no stranger to the game. Brandon cut his teeth as a recording studio engineer and touring musician, skills that eventually led him to partner with Mark Yoshida (MRP’s COO) to found AudioGraphic Masterworks (AGMW), an Indie-focused CD & DVD Manufacturing haven also hailing from Memphis, TN. Brandon spent several decades at AGMW refining the skills needed to not only operate a small business, but also to serve the growing needs of the creatives seeking to spread their music across the globe. At MRP, Brandon’s the maestro orchestrating the symphony of vinyl production and sales, and ensuring top-notch customer service. As a native son of Memphis, he wears his local pride like a badge, representing his community by serving on the board of the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Governors of the Recording Academy, and various other organizations throughout the city. When he’s not melting or spinning wax, Brandon invests all of his remaining time with his wife, son, and local church community.
