Golden State isn’t just the name of LA-based singer/songwriter Brandon Schott’s second album, it’s also a great description of his outlook on life. Schott’s two albums are infused with a thoughtful optimism, and when he was diagnosed with germ cell cancer last winter, he turned that experience into a new organization, Artists for Healing, through which musicians give back to the community. Now cancer-free, Schott is getting back into the LA music scene with a benefit this Sunday at Safari Sam’s, from which all the proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Los Angeles. LAist recently caught up with Schott over espresso floats at Mel’s Drive-In on Sunset to chat about his two records, his recent battle with cancer, and life as a musician in Los Angeles.
