Brandon Yates
Brandon Yates is a primary composer for Death Battle, a web series approaching 2 billion views on YouTube.
In 2024, Brandon hit #27 on YouTube's trending worldwide with the standalone track "Game Over" from the Bowser vs Eggman Death Battle.
He navigated Rooster Teeth's closure by remastering his catalog, later restoring tracks through the Save Death Battle Kickstarter.
Beyond Death Battle, Brandon has created 700+ commissioned tracks for fans, plus music for video games, commercials, and films. He's also launched GhostWalker, a metal project with collaborators Matt Bernal, Logan Adams, and Anthony DiGiacomo, releasing their debut EP "Ruptura" in 2024.
When not composing, Brandon studies languages, plays chess, and watches anime.
His music has reached millions worldwide.
