About Me

Most everything can be converted into music. Emotions, experiences, rides in the car, conversations before or after multiple alcoholic beverages, life, death, and everything in between can serve as the ground for a song.I feel my job as a songwriter is to translate all of these the things the best I can into an aural format so people can remember that music is not just something that is pushed on a radio station so some big cat's wallet can get fat with cash. Music is not a product of the music business... it is made by human beings, and belongs to all of us.I guess what I am trying to say is I hope that I can just be an effective middle man between life and the listener. It's my hope that the things I write about will be near-universal, and applicable to most any person who listens. My aim is to make "popular" music, the type that can reach any type of person from anywhere.Who knows how that'll ever come out exactly (even I don't for the most part) but when it comes out, it's my greatest intent to write not just for myself, but for everyone who listens.These, are our songs.-Bryan
