Shortly before turning 20 years old, Bryan’s talents as a performer earned him representation from one of Chicago’s finest talent agencies, Stewart Talent.  While still a student, and within his first year represented on the Chicago scene, Bryan made his network television debut, commercial debut and Chicago theatre debut as an actor.  In that same year, he released his tour de force debut album, 20, featuring his talents as a singer, pianist, arranger, orchestrator and producer leading a 27-piece jazz orchestra.  This landmark debut year as a Chicago entertainer established him as one of his generation’s most promising young entertainers.At the beginning of 2022, Bryan was invited to join the cast of Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite on Broadway starring Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker.  Now, living in the entertainment capital of the world, Bryan’s talents are being recognized on the most elite stage.  After the limited run of Plaza Suite closed, Bryan went on to be featured in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Hall and headline his debut sold-out show at the premier, Birdland Jazz Club.  His ‘Circle Room’ trio is currently in residence at the esteemed Carlyle Hotel.

Bryan holds a Double-Major Bachelors Degree from Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music and School of Communication, where he studied Acting with Dawn Mora, Jazz Piano with Jeremy Kahn, and Music Direction with Dr. Ryan Nelson.  Additional Acting training was completed at the world-famous Second City Chicago.  Bryan continues his lifelong study of jazz music under the mentorship of New York City jazz pianist, Emmet Cohen and trumpeter, Bruce Harris.
