艺人介绍

Brian出生于加利福尼亚好莱坞。从记事起他就一直进行作曲。他的家人告诉他，当他很小的时候，就几乎整天地吹口哨。当有人问他在吹什么时，Brian通常会这么回答，“我不知道，　我自己编的。”

在Brian仅有6岁时，父母为他买了一架小型三角钢琴，本认为他的音乐才能可以在这台更精致的音乐器材上得到发挥。不过，Brian还是继续吹他的口哨。他的兴趣并没有被钢琴所吸引。10岁时，Brian开始学钢琴，但很快他就对钢琴课产生了厌倦。另外，钢琴课占用了他太多时间，使他不能从事他的新爱好－棒球。于是，他放弃了钢琴。但是他作曲的欲望却从未停止过。当在棒球场上进行练习或比赛时，朋友们经常会听到Brian用口哨吹着他新作的曲子。在这一时期，Brian 吹着口哨，梦想着成为一名职业棒球运动员。

Brian偶尔会坐在那台几乎被遗忘了的钢琴前。他会在键盘上即兴弹奏一曲，就像他以前总是用口哨即兴演奏一样，直到这些音符听起来很好听为止。不知不觉中，他自己学会了钢琴。

也正是在这种无意识中，Brian学会了钢琴作曲。二十岁刚出头，他就为获奖儿童影片编曲。此时，他仍然没有放弃加入职业棒球队的梦想，不过，在几次未成功的职业队试用后，他很伤心地放弃了这个梦想。

也就是在这一时期，家人建议Brian把他的个人钢琴作品录制下来，并发行CD。他从未认真地考虑过录制、发行CD一事，但他所录制的第一张专辑是如此地受欢迎，以至于他开始把所有时间用于创作和录制自己的作品上。他现在开玩笑说，发生在他身上最好的事情就是他没有成为一名职业棒球运动员。

Brian的许多作品被用于美国、加拿大、瑞典、芬兰、匈牙利等国的电影和电视广告中。他的二重唱专辑"Piano and Cello Duet" 及"Piano and Violin Duet"也获得了巨大的成功，激励着世界各地成千上万的钢琴家、小提琴手、大提琴演奏者演奏其作品。

Brian was born in Hollywood, California. He has been composing music as long as he can remember. Family members tell him that when he was very young he began whistling nearly all the time. When someone would ask what he was whistling, Brian would usually answer something like, "I don't know. I just made it up."

He was only six years old when his parents bought a baby grand piano, thinking that Brian's musical talents could use a more polished medium. But Brian continued to whistle his songs. He was not drawn to the keyboard. When he was ten years old, Brian began taking piano lessons, but he soon became bored with the lessons. Besides, the piano took time away from his new passion, baseball. So he gave up the piano. His need to compose, however, would not be stopped. His friends would often hear him whistling his newest compositions during practice or games on the baseball diamond. At this young age, Brian was dreaming of becoming a professional baseball player while whistling his own songs.

Brian would occasionally sit down at that nearly forgotten piano. He would improvise at the keyboard, just as he had always improvised with his whistling, playing with the notes until something started sounding just right. He was, without realizing it, teaching himself to play the piano.

Also without intending to do it, Brian was training himself to compose at the piano. By his early twenties, he was composing songs for award-winning children's films. He was also still nurturing his dream of playing professional baseball, but after unsuccessful tryouts with professional teams, he sadly let that dream slip away.

It was during this time that his family suggested he record his personal piano works and release them on CD. He had never seriously considered recording for CD release, but when he recorded the first album, it was so well received that he started spending all his time composing and recording his own works. Now he jokes that the best thing that ever happened to him was not becoming a professional baseball player.

Brian's albums “Piano Opus” and ”Piano and Light” experiment with odd timings and minimalist concepts. Writing beautiful melodies on top of 7/8 timing is a challenge suited for Brian’s love of mathematics and quest for new ideas in music. He has also achieved great success with his two duet albums "Piano and Cello Duet" and "Piano and Violin Duet", inspiring tens of thousands of piano, violin and cello players to perform Brian's compositions all over the world.

Many of Brian's compositions are used in movies and television commercials around the world and in 2013 Brian was honored as the Honorary Cultural Ambassador for Yeongwol, S. Korea, one of the sites of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
