THE 411 ON BRIAN O'NEAL

Posted June 21st, 2008 at 12:09pm

FAQ   (Frequently Asked Questions)

Ok.. I've been asked a lot of the same questions lately. I figured why not
answer most of those questions in one place (thank God for blogs)! Here are the most popular questions with answers below:

1. a) How old are you? 43 - Birthday July 5th

b) How tall are you? A short 6'3"

2. Are you married? No - Divorced 6 years April 1 (what a day to have a divorce finalized) Ha!!! (but I am married to my... (continue reading)

FYI Series 1

I've heard this one before: "Brian, do you sing? Why dont you have singing or words in your music?"

Long Answer: Lyrics/words/singing are all wonderful. Many messages, emotions, thoughts and stories are conveyed through song. Since I'm a musician and can actually HEAR what INSTRUMENTS say in music I tend to lean towards letting the instruments speak.

"As a musician, I'm still learning .

As a working professional, I'm still struggling
Striving to reach the top of my true abilities
Success is doing what makes you most Happy
" ~Brian O'Neal


PLEASE   READ

I'm not on BlackPlanet for a date, girlfriend or a wife. I'm already married to my piano! (smile) Its all about the MUSIC. Don't be afraid to like something different. Hip Hop, R&B, Neo Soul, etc. all have something to offer. I'm trying to "change the world one ear at time" by opening everyone's minds/ears to something not in the mainstream. Jazz!! The music "we" invented. In a nutshell: all the music you're hearing (from my current cd "Daisy") was all composed, produced and performed by me. No loops, computers or samples! Everything is original. "Daisy" is all dedicated to my late grand mother Daisy O'Neal.

Please, please read my blog. It'll explain a lot of things you may be wondering after browsing my page. Click banner below.
