Brandon Hodge

Brandon Hodge is an American R&B producer and songwriter known for his production/songwriting work with TGT members Tyrese Gibson and Tank, as well as writing and/or producing R&B hits "No Limit", "Love 'Em All", "U + Me (Love Lesson)", and "Lean Into It".

Discovered in the late 2000s by Rihanna producers Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers who had formed a joint-venture publishing agency with Universal Music Publishing Group and were looking for songwriters, Hodge was quickly signed to a publishing deal alongside artist Shontelle. In 2011, Hodge executive-produced Gibson's album Open Invitation, co-writing and producing minor R&B hit singles "Stay", "Too Easy", and "Best of Me", ultimately creating 12/14 songs on the original project. Hodge was nominated alongside Gibson for the project in the Best R&B Album category (as main producer) at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.

In 2016, Hodge co-wrote and co-produced "No Limit", the lead single for Usher's project Hard II Love. The single peaked in the top 10 of the R&B charts and Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Hodge's biggest hit to date. After contributing five songs to 2016 Tank album Sex Love & Pain II, Hodge was commissioned for Tank's weekly-summer-release EP project #TankTuesdays, producing first installment "No Drugs", second installment "For Life", and third installment "All About You". In 2017, Hodge was praised by pop culture publication Vulture for his numerous "current but faintly retro" creations on Mary J. Blige album Strength of A Woman, describing his work (as well as the contributions of fellow producer Darhyl Camper) as "tasteful but buoyant, [and] right on time without necessarily straining to conform to the times."

In 2023, Hodge produced Gibson single "Don’t Think You Ever Loved Me" featuring musicians Lenny Kravitz and Le'Andria Johnson, which climbed into the Top 10 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Chart, becoming Gibson's first top 10 hit in nearly seven years. Hodge-produced single "Love Transaction" followed several months later, debuting in the Top 30 of the Adult R&B Airplay Chart.
