Biography:
Brian Asselin, B.Mus, B. Ed
It seems like my musical career leads two separate lives. On one side I am a songwriter influenced by James Taylor, Bon Jovi, Bruno Mars, Michael Buble and so many others. I find a lot of inspiration for my songwriting while watching the world around me. For most of my songwriting career, I have been collaborating with a very good friend of mine and fellow musician, Eric Disero. Our youtube channel has reached over 830,000 views and is quickly growing everyday.
On the other side, I am a jazz saxophonist with over 15 years experience touring and/or recording with such artists as The Legendary Funk Brothers, Mary Wilson (The Supremes), The Temptations, The Commotions, The JW-Jones Blues Band, The Jivewires, Impressions in Jazz Orchestra, The Holly Larocque and Mark Ferguson Big Band, Kelly Craig Sextet, Groovebug, and Organix.
I am currently the Musical Director and songwriter for my project called The Commotions.
