Fans saw that Brandon was passionate about his music career, but it seemed as though his weight was holding him back. However, after the tremendous amount of weight he lost, he finally received an opportunity in Nashville, Tennessee. He and his fiancée, Taylor, moved there so he could pursue his passion. Since then, he’s spent his time writing and singing Christian music.
While Brandon hasn’t given an update regarding his specific weight in 2024, he did make a TikTok video in June 2023 and told the story behind his weight loss.
“It was really rough,” Brandon said in response to fans asking how he managed to lose so much weight. “It was really difficult for me to make the decision to be on [My 600-Lb. Life] to begin with. It’s very vulnerable and you allow the world to let the world in and see you at your lowest point. After I got over that hurdle, I realized that I needed to be in constant prayer in order to get through this.”
