Lynnfield graduate taking the EDM world by storm
By Tréa Lavery
LYNNFIELD — Eighteenyear-old
Brandon Greenstein
may have just graduated from
high school, but the musician
and producer is already making
a name for himself as The
BreakBomb Project.
Greenstein reached the milestone
of 1 million streams on
Spotify earlier this year, and in
May, he dropped a new single,
“Drugs Don’t Work,” along
with college freshman Ryan
Violet. His electronic dance
music (EDM) tracks, which he
describes as “deep house,” are
produced in his home.
“I’ve been lucky to work with
vocalists and other producers
and instrumentalists my age,”
Greenstein said. “I’ll spend a
couple hours getting drums,
melody and chords down, then
I’ll have people come in and
feed me ideas.”
Greenstein has been interested
in dance music since he
was a child observing his DJ
father; it was through him that
the younger Greenstein was inspired
to follow the same path.
He started producing his own
music as a freshman in high
school, inspired by artists like
Porter Robinson and Martin
Garrix, two performers who
made it big as teens.
Greenstein started DJing at
friends’ parties and loved it. He
performed his first real show in
a Boston club last year, and said
it was an incredible experience
— up until the next morning,
when the COVID-19 pandemic
shut down clubs for over a year.
On June 6, Greenstein had
the opportunity to perform live
again at The Grand, a nightclub
in Boston.
“In a club, it’s a completely
different experience. It’s so fun
and rewarding,” he said. “I love
performing live. Especially
when you’re making the music,
seeing everyone’s reaction is
the best feeling in the world.”
Next year, Greenstein will
head off to Emerson College
to study media arts production,
where he looks forward to continuing
to DJ and work on his
music.
“I was lucky enough to have
a lot of people like my parents
and a lot of friends and my
school support me and give me
time to work on this,” he said.
“A million streams is an unreal
number to me.”
