Brandon Jordan was one of the founders of Kill Radio - a punk rock band. His family had a history of drug abuse, but Brandon didn't start abusing alcohol and drugs until his early 20s. Once he started to party, he went from 0 to 60 in a split second. Friends didn't want to party with him because he was so hard core. After tanking his successful music career, he got sober and now devotes his time to being the L.A. regional director of "Rock to Recovery" and uses music to help rehabilitate others.
