Born and raised in Miami Beach, Florida, Brett began his musical journey at the age of nine, sitting at the family piano and plunking out melodies of familiar tunes. This led to formal musical training and the study of classical music. After four years of intense piano lessons and earning Top Talent awards at various recitals, he turned to learning to play the drums. The piano took a backseat to his newfound love of the drum set, but would later return to become his main instrument when he studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Brett played the drums with many local bands in the Miami area, as well as with his high school jazz, concert and rock bands.
In the summer of 1995, while studying in Israel, Brett taught himself to play the acoustic guitar, and he began to write original songs. "One of the very first songs I wrote was for my girlfriend at the time. He recorded it to a 4 track tape machine, and I sang on it!" Although he realized then that being a singer was out of the question, this was the genesis of his writing and recording original compositions.
Upon entering college, Brett founded a band namedĒ"Logan Tree" in Gainesville, Florida. He was the drummer, and co-writer of many of the original songs. Logan Tree was a great experience in live playing and recording. The band released two independent albums, selling them at shows in various cities. "We toured the southeastern part of the U.S. from the Carolinas down to Miami. It was an amazing time!"
As luck would have it, the band broke up, and Brett moved south to Orlando, Florida to attend Full Sail, a multimedia school, where he majored in audio engineering. This was a valuable experience because I was exposed to all the new digital technology and computer software that has now become the staple of the recording industry.
Brett made one last stop on his scholastic voyage and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston. "I was writing a lot, and I wanted to expand my melodic and harmonic vocabulary. I needed to get back to the piano. I wanted to take my playing and writing to a higher level." Berklee allowed Brett to hone his craft of writing and playing. "Berklee was the best thing I ever did; there is no other place like it!"
