Brandon "OnBrand" Stuart is an interdisciplinary artist whose creative work in acting and filmmaking, music and sound design, and movement and dance focuses on contextualizing facets of contemporary society to further social change

As a 2020 Unstoppable Voters Project grant recipient through the Center for Artistic Activism (C4AA), Brandon designed, led, and co-directed a creative voting rights project called “Float The Vote.” This project culminated with “Float The Vote: Tell Your Story,” a short docufilm highlighting the team’s efforts that was an official 2021 selection of the PopDoc Awards, the Detroit Black Film Festival, and the Better Cities Film Festival. 

In 2024, Brandon became one of ten musicians selected to be a part of Music to Life's Music Changemaker Accelerator Academy and receive grant funding to pilot "Composing Wellness: Live Music + Yoga." The completion of this project yielded the release of yet another short docufilm and original soundtrack currently in festival season.

As founder and chief creative artist of ICONICLASS, he stewards projects that give artists the space and time to nurture their crafts and take ownership of their own creative potential and evolution.

Brandon holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Behavioral Biology and East Asian Studies from Johns Hopkins University; a Master of Liberal Arts degree from the University of Chicago; and teaching certifications in Pilates and alignment-based yoga.
