About

Started as a dream and became a destiny…artist on the rise, B. One, is a Pop/RnB icon. Shooting straight for the heart, B. One’s music combines smooth guitar licks and strong songwriting with an urban influence that’s downright irresistable.

Brenden O’Toole was born in Aurora, CO on December 15, 1987 and spent most of his childhood torn between two very hopeful yet distinctly different aspirations; cartooning (Garfield in particular) and sports. At the tender age of 10 his grandfather began teaching him folk songs and children’s tunes on a four-string guitar. “To this day, I still have the handwritten chords and lyrics in a spiral bound notebook. Music just kinda grew on me.”

On his 13th birthday, Brenden received his first electric guitar and music began to take on a whole new meaning. “I remember writing my first song (‘Echoes’). It sucked but I kept writing anyway. Music became my passion and I knew this, above all else, is what I wanted.”  It wasn’t long before he began picking up music business books from the library, and taking in-depth music classes from a local teacher. “I knew I had to be the best, so I worked hard, really hard.”

Since his move to New York City In 2007, Brenden has immersed himself in the local scene (esp. Rnb, Soul, and Jazz clubs), was featured on the FUSE network’s ‘You Rock, Let’s Roll’ television series, and has since become known as B. One. He is currently finishing his debut record scheduled to be released in 2011.
