Brian has played guitar since he was a teenager. Mostly playing in metal groups located from New York City to Atlanta, GA. His most recent band was an acoustic act named Aether. Since then Brian has been playing solo, singing and acoustic guitar, for crowds in different cities in southern Virgina and North Carolina. He has collaborated recording vocals and writing lyrics as well as playing lead guitar tracks for various musicians and bands. Some of the musicians he has worked with in person while others he has done work for without even meeting, submitting tracks purely via the web.Being versatile is one of Brian's greatest strengths. He creates vocals ranging from a grindcore scream over the heavy distortion of guitars to soft melodies over lightly played acoustic. His vocals have been compared to both King Diamond and Neil Young. His guitar playing is just as diverse. One minute he can be pushing out brutal riffs from his vintage Marshall stack and the next minute be strumming along on his Tacoma acoustic.Brian's musical tastes and abilities are not where his versatility ends. As you read before he has collaborated with musicians both in person and online. In person, the traditional way of creating music with other musicians, Brian tends to bring out the best in others around him. His ability to maintain a positive outlook and a "never say die" attitude in the rehearsal space and the studio make him a strong asset to have. Online Brian has been able to take recordings submitted to him and write and record vocals and guitar tracks for bands and musicians. Most of all Brian writes many musical pieces of his own. He has recorded both in studio and in home studio.
