Biography:

Brian Christensen is a pop/rock songwriter from Western Canada (Victoria, Edmonton), whose freshman release, Blue Museum EP, delivers a rich sequence of pop hooks rooted in the spirit of alternative and indie rock. It deals with the heft of leaving one community to join another, and the implications of pursuing bigger things. Layered guitars, organs and synths fill out the arrangements with thick harmony and emphatic melodies, creating a dynamic palette that invites repeat listening.

In 2011, Brian packed up and left the west coast to pursue an education in music at MacEwan University, a program from which he graduated in 2013. Since then, he has meandered as a freelancer and occasional humanities student. Working as a multi-instrumentalist, composer for hire, musical director, actor, guitar and voice teacher, and wedding DJ, among other more obscure jobs, Brian was always eying the prospect of establishing himself as a songwriter and solo artist. Shortly after taking a teaching position at Resonate Music School & Studio, Brian moved forward by partnering with producer Justin "Dunna" McDonough and beginning production on Blue Museum EP, selecting the four songs that he felt would best showcase the breadth of his stylistic tendencies.

The result is a foray into the aesthetic collage of his youth compounded with more mature songwriting craft and production values. Blue Museum EP can be found digitally at brianchristensen.bandcamp.com.
