Brandan Schieppati (born August 3, 1980, Newport, California) is the singer of metalcore band Bleeding Through. He is Straight Edge and lives in Orange County with his wife Nicole.[1] While best known through his musical career, he was also a late-round draft pick for Major League Baseball's Montreal Expos (now Washington Nationals) out of high school, around 1998.[2] In June 2002, Brandan's jaw was broken in a fight after a show. He went through surgery the next day. Though this resulted in Bleeding Through canceling their tour in support of Portrait of the Goddess, he recovered quickly enough to play at Hellfest 2002.[3]
