Coming from a musical family, he began his musical career playing guitar and writing songs in various bands in and around Ottawa. His talents landed him a position as composer, audio-post engineer and producer for television programs and commercials with Sound Venture Productions in Ottawa in 1986. In 1990 he moved to Toronto where he was signed to Francis Davies, the famous music publisher. Continuing west to Vancouver in 1993, he scored for television, film and video games, producing music for EA, CBC, Discovery Channel, E! and Warner Bros. Television. In 2000, he and song writing partner Scott Arkwell aka Vinyl Ritchie were signed to Nettwerk Records with an international release under the band name Lester. His second album, “Wicked Lester, Dance or Die”, was released two years ago on his own independent label. In 2010 Brian received a Daytime Emmy Nomination and a Gemini Nomination for his score to the Corus Entertainment series, "Hot Wheels Battle Force 5". The past few years have seen Brian composing for MTV, Lions Gate, Nelvana, Mattel, Disney, Netflix and the Cartoon Network. The last few years have seen Brian scoring the hugely successful SLUGTERRA series for Disney XD and more recently the HELLO NINJA series for Netflix. Brian works with an impressive list of talented musicians ranging from rock to hip-hop to orchestral. .
