On My Own (Brandon Paris Band Album)
On My Own is Brandon Paris Band's first studio album. It includes the hit single, "Rewind and Start Again". Their debut album's first single, "Rewind and Start Again", was a huge success on commercial radio after being released on March 13, 2006. The song climbed up to top 20 on the Canadian CHR charts (tracked by Radio & Records (Billboard Information Group)). The second single, "Somebody to Hold" was also well received in many cities. It peaked at #53. Koch Entertainment, Brandon Paris Band's record label, decided to release "Give Me a Reason" only a month after the release of 'Somebody to Hold', in hopes of getting better results, but to their dismay it was not enough to reach top 40 status. "Give Me a Reason" peaked at #77 CHR. Brandon Paris Band was nominated for Best New Group or Solo Artist (CHR) by the Canadian Radio Music Awards in spring of 2007.
Vancouver-based record producer Troy Samson of Hipjoint Productions (Moka Only, Kreesha Turner, Snoop Dogg) and Jeff Dawson (State of Shock, Kelly Rowland, Daniel Powter, Marcy Playground) co-produced 6 of the songs on the album with Brandon Paris. Brandon Paris wrote all the lyrics and music for this album except the Reggae lyrics, which was written by Dagriff, a member of the band.

Famous quotes containing the words paris and/or band:
“Consider the China pride and stagnant self-complacency of mankind. This generation inclines a little to congratulate itself on being the last of an illustrious line; and in Boston and London and Paris and Rome, thinking of its long descent, it speaks of its progress in art and science and literature with satisfaction.... It is the good Adam contemplating his own virtue.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
