Brandon Tory

Brandon Tory is a tech founder and artist from Brockton, Massachusetts. While experiencing homelessness as a teenager, he taught himself how to program computers.

He later became a Senior Engineer at Apple and a Staff Engineer at Google AI, leading a team building LLM training infrastructure.

In parallel with his engineering career, Brandon was discovered by Timbaland and built a music audience that generated millions of streams, leading to a deal with Grammy Award-winning producer Dallas Austin—who later became an investor in Brandon's tech platform, SHARE.

Brandon created SHARE to help artists make more money while enabling supporters to own a piece of their success. He raised over $2.2 million to build the platform, which now supports thousands of independent artists.

His work at the intersection of music and technology has been featured in Forbes, WSJ, CNBC, Brockton Enterprise, Yahoo Finance, and CNN's Great Big Story.
