Brandon Hodge

[2] In 2011, Hodge executive-produced Gibson's album Open Invitation, co-writing and producing minor R&B hit singles "Stay", "Too Easy", and "Best of Me", ultimately creating 12/14 songs on the original project.

Hodge was nominated alongside Gibson for the project in the Best R&B Album category (as main producer) at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.

In 2016, Hodge co-wrote and co-produced "No Limit", the lead single for Usher's project Hard II Love.

[5][6][7] In 2017, Hodge was praised by pop culture publication Vulture for his numerous "current but faintly retro" creations on Mary J. Blige album Strength of A Woman, describing his work (as well as the contributions of fellow producer Darhyl Camper) as "tasteful but buoyant, [and] right on time without necessarily straining to conform to the times.

[9] Hodge-produced single "Love Transaction" followed several months later, debuting in the Top 30 of the Adult R&B Airplay Chart.
