Bryan cut his teeth in the entertainment industry as steel drum entertainment for the Ritz Carlton Hotel of Kansas City, Mo. While performing in various venues, Bryan also pursued his Music Business Degree at Missouri Western State University.

His latest project is a high-energy percussion stage show entitled " Invisidrum" Bryan's life was changed after meeting the inventor of the steel drums Ellie Mannette of Trinidad and Tobago. Bryan's love for the instrument earned him the opportunity to study the steel drums at the 50th anniversary celebration of the steel drums in West Virgina. After returning home from the celebration he quickly became one of the authorities on the instrument and has been performing a variety of music from Soca and Calypso to reggae and jazz standards.
