Born in New York, Brian began playing drums at the age of eleven. After studying with many local teachers, including Bobby Rondinelli (Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Blue Oyster Cult, Quiet Riot), Brian began playing the local club scene with various bands. He joined the New York City based band, Station, opening for such acts as Joe Lynn Turner, Dio Disciples, and .38 Special. Brian has played the Millennium Music Conference, Great South Bay Music Festival, the 2013 and 2014 Rocklahoma Festivals, as well as various other festivals throughout the United States. Station released their first EP “WIRED” in 2013, which they recorded in Nashville with the legendary producer, Michael Wagener (Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row, Mötley Crüe, Metallica, Alice Cooper, Extreme, Dokken, Warrant). Brian has continued to work and record with Michael Wagener since the release of Station’s EP. Station also recorded a full-length record in 2014.
After leaving Station Brian began working with various artists both in the studio and on the road. He began doing sessions with producer, Mick James (Criss Angel) and was a member of Mick James' touring band, Mick James Is Dead.
Brian also began working on a project called D.M.K. (Dunbar, Merrill, Karl). The group released a single in late 2014, which was mastered by Mark Slaughter. The group is currently writing original material and touring.
Brian also began touring and working closely with other notable musicians in the industry. When he is not touring Brian conducts drum clinics and teaches drums both privately and at Gil Brienes Music in New York.
