He has has appearaed in television productions including the television series: Barbershop: The Series, a situation comedy on Showtime; WHITNEY on NBC, NBC's crime-drama LIFE; and the CW's Melrose Place.

His band, Pierce the Arrow, has epic delivery and avant-garde vision, leaving young fans wanting more and more from this band's catchy sound. Frequently compared to Young the Giant, Imagine Dragons, The Smiths, Jeff Buckley, and U2 ... when you hear their songs and see their live show, it's clear that Pierce the Arrow is an original flavor all it's own.

A fist-full of rock and a pocket full of pixies, a wonder lover heart with a spaceman's levity - ladies and gents, this is Pierce the Arrow. They're hometown is in the mid-western grounds of St. Louis, Missouri, but they've managed to make their way to Los Angeles, making LA their permanent home. Forged from the darkest depths and the brightest ether of frontman Brayden Pierce's old soul, the music playfully dances along the edge of madness and beauty. The Band: Brayden Pierce on vocals and rhythm guitar, Tom Sandoval on lead guitar, Mike Shay on Keyboards, Mike Gunn on Bass, Darren G is on drums. The sound is somewhat indie, somewhat pop, somewhat trippy, somewhat rock: they playfully call it - Kaleidoscope Rock ... something entirely fresh, inspiring, and fit for the awakening of a world - a friggin musical revolution over here. Plus, it's just damn good.

Their debut EP, "Good Lift", is a live show recording and is all completely on the fly. So, what you're hearing is, in fact, raw PTA - no frills, no fancies. A true testament to this band's incredible synergy and ability.

The EP has fun tracks like Carolina and Extraordinary Love, and gets down to business with revolutionary tracks reminiscent of Pink Floyd with Lighthouse and a vintage-modern appeal with the driving track, Integra. Capture the Moon sends you on a vibe that would fit perfectly on a party playlist. Things get really anthemic with, well, Anthem Song, as well as, I Like the Way, with blazing solos and gripping melodies.
