With a deep-rooted passion and exposure to his hometown's eclectic sounds and cultural mix, Brian's drumming seamlessly fuses blues and gospel from church with African and Caribbean-inspired rhythms of the New Orleans street bands. Brian' has been awarded the prestigious ASCAP Louis Prima Award and scholarships to both Berklee College of Music's undergraduate and Master's programs. Despite his young age, he has toured extensively, with jazz legends such as Nicholas Payton, Big Chief Donald Harrison Jr., Ellis Marsalis, Delfeayo Marsalis, Amina Figarova, Joanne Bracken, and many others.

Brian's recent recording on Chief Adjuah's latest conceptual release 'Bark out Thunder Roar Out Lightning' is a testament to his versatility. He effortlessly blends the folkloric styles, ceremonial and ritual practices of the Maroon and Afro-Indigenous Chiefdoms, and culture of New Orleans with Stretch Music, resulting in a tour de force of Afro-New Orleanian and West African expression where music, dance, and cultures unite. Brian has founded his own project entitled "New Legaxy', collaborating consistently with 5 different musicians from across the U.S. Their sound is like no other, only to be compared to a gumbo which blends rhythms from Congo Square, blues of Memphis, Kompa rhythms of Haiti, and the country flares of Virginia. Brian is also a regular fixture at New York City's Nublu Club, where he joins a unique blend of young musicians led by Ray Angry in jamming sessions every Monday. Although he resides and works in the city, he frequently embarks on tours across the globe and returns to his beloved New Orleans to perform.
