Brandon Boyer founded his first company at 18 with the independent music label KittyBoo Records. Over the following three years, KittyBoo released a sell-out 7″ vinyl record with Texas indiepop band Poopiehead, and found international success with its Bunnygrunt/Tullycraft split single (nearly half of which were pre-sold to Japan via the distribution division of legendary UK label Rough Trade).

Finally, Boyer produced a soundtrack to renowned children’s book author J.otto Seibold’s ‘Free Lunch,’ with music and narration by famed Brooklyn artist Brian Dewan. Seibold is the artist behind Olive The Other Reindeer, which Simpsons creator Matt Groening and Drew Barrymore adapted as an animated Christmas special.

The label saw Boyer gaining both global and local recognition from various media outlets, including a cover story by Dallas/Ft. Worth alternative weekly Dallas Observer. Future albums were in the works, including a 7″ record with Parappa the Rapper/UmJammer Lammy character designer Rodney Alan Greenblat (currently working on Major Minor’s Majestic March for Majesco), and a CD with comic book artist Ron Regé Jr., but both unfortunately were indefinitely delayed.

After graduating college, Boyer worked as a multimedia designer and programmer, creating educational CD-ROMs for children and teens for clients like McDougal Littell and Rigby (a Harcourt division). Following that, he left development to become a writer for the print and original online outlets of games magazine Edge, and worked as editor of games industry business news site Gamasutra.com.

Now editor of Offworld, the games site from internet-institution Boing Boing, Boyer can be reached at brandon@tiger-town.com with any questions, concerns or clever schemes.
