We had the good fortune of connecting with Brandon Johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brandon, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind my success is support. I feel that support plays a huge role in the likeliness and expansion of your business and/or brand.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Im a professional Dancer and Creator who resides in Los Angelas California. Being form Florida and relocating to Los Angelas California was the hardest part for me, having to adapt to new circumstances, financial hardships and learning a whole new life and customs. Was it easy No, However Through it all, I’ve learned to remain positive, Continue to work hard and keep striving to be the best version of myself. Being a dancer and creator, What I believe sets me apart from others is my kindness, my creativity and drive to innovate and create new refreshing content for the masses. Im most excited about creating a dance organization Founded on the campus of Florida A&M University, (HBCU) by the name of Attack Dance Crew” in 2010 and later creating my Company/Brand Drillemdown. Drillemdown is a brand that focuses on Dance (Drilling), shedding light and bridging the gap amongst inner-city youth and collegiate HBCU dancers in Florida. With creating Drillemdown I’ve learned that support is an essential part of the building of my brand and has carried me a long way.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I had a friend that came to Los Angelas, First day I would take them to The Hollywood Walk oF Fame to see the stars of Hollywood. I’ll also take them to this amazing karaoke spot by the name of Station 1640 on Mondays to enjoy some live karaoke singing and networking. Next Day we would take a trip to Runyon Canyon for some hiking and to take pictures near the Hollywood sign. Afterwards, I’ll take them to Roscoes Chicken And Waffles and Later that night to Harold’s Chicken restaurant .Next day we’ll take a trip to Santa Monica Pier to enjoy the beach and the carnival. Next Day we’ll go to any concerts or events during the week.
