Brian J. Barham, Professional Musician, Has Composed Music for Short Films, Radio Programs, and TV Commercials.

Brian has enjoyed a rich 20 year career in the music industry as a performer, teacher and composer. Currently the manager of his own studio, he oversees recording sessions, and also gives piano lessons to students of all ages and diverse musical inclinations, including Rock, Pop, Jazz, Blues, Classical, and R & B. Deeply aware of the influence that his own mentors had on him, Brian always works to relate to his students and make a difference in their lives.

Throughout his career, Brian has played keyboards with Jennifer Batten (Guitarist for Michael Jackson) and recorded with The Raspberries on their Refreshed CD released in 2000. He recorded his own CD Magic Potion dedicating it to the victims (and heroes) of the 9/11 attacks. He has composed music for Short Films, Theme Music for Radio Programs, as well as TV Commercials. Brian is also an aspiring writer who has published two poems, "The Gift" and "Magic Potion" (an excerpt from the lyrics of his song). He attributes his success to growing up in a family of musicians and artists; his mother was a classical pianist; his father a writer and radio announcer; his grandfather a church organist; his uncle, music composer George Tremblay; and his cousin eminent ballerina Cynthia Gregory.

Brian aspires to compose music for a major film. He is currently working on a new CD, and is also in progress of writing his first novel.
