About Me
Bryan Baker was born into a creatively fertile environment, with his grandfather being an accordionist, his father being a professional guitarist, and his mother being a designer and artist.
This early immersion in the creative way of life lead Bryan to begin playing the guitar at age four, under the direction of his father.
Nine years later, at age thirteen, Bryan was awarded a full tuition scholarship to attend the Los Angeles Music Academy.
Bryan spent the next four years attending the academy and enveloping himself in the musical and cultural climate of Los Angeles, as well as playing with some of the most legendary performers and musicians within the Los Angeles scene.
At age seventeen, Bryan was awarded a full tuition scholarship to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music is Boston, Massachusetts.
While at Berklee, Bryan honed his instrumental abilities to a finite point, as well as delved deeply into the art of creating and programming electronic music.
After graduating Berklee, Bryan moved to New York City, where he was soon hired as the guitarist in legendary jazz/rock super group, “Steps Ahead†featuring Mike Mainieri, Bill Evans, Donny McCaslin, Anthony Jackson, Entinne Mbappe, Rodney Holmes, and Steve Smith.
Bryan has toured the world with steps ahead numerous times, visiting just about every continent in the world.
After a year a half spent in New York City, Bryan became increasingly distasteful of the city's concrete monotone, like a symphony endlessly blaring one note, but unaware of the fact that other notes exist.
So he made a move back to beautiful Roslindale, MA where the grass grows like tress and Boston is on the horizon.
Bryan is also planning his second record, which will feature a bevy of new music and some exceptionally talented and very well-known musicians.
