Erie Musical Artist Recognized by International Contest
Erie native Branislaus recently received the honor of being named a winner by the Song of the Year (http://www.songoftheyear.com/) songwriting contest. Song of the Year is an international songwriting contest supporting VH-1’s Save the Music Foundation. The Song of the Year judges are some of the biggest names in music including many Grammy Award winners.
Song of the Year is excited to recognize Branislaus for his exceptional songwriting ability for the song “Love Theme”. Branislaus competed against songwriters from all over the world for this honor. When asked what inspired this song Branislaus
commented that “It was improvised in an altered state of mind while contemplating on a personal love affair.” He also went on to say: “The opening alludes to the passing of time until love arrives and transcends reality into pure feeling without thought.”
Currently Branislaus is concentrating on recording and publishing the 5th CD of his career while hoping to give a series of “Classical Piano Recitals” in conjunction with local charities. You can find more information about Branislaus by visiting branislaus.com
