Bryan Stratman Bryan has music in his blood. His grandfather, an accomplished jazz saxophonist who played professionally for over 50 years, introduced Bryan to music at age 4. Bryan chose the piano and electric keyboard as his main instruments of choice, studying Berkley music theory with a private instructor at a young age. At age 15 he bought his own 4-track tape machine and has been recording ever since.

In November of 2000, Bryan built Capricorn Studios, a thriving 1300 sq ft custom recording facility in downtown San Diego, where he has been perfecting his recording, producing, and musicianship for the past 6 years. He has worked with national bands such as The B-Side Players, Brazilian Girls, Fountains of Wayne, Cattle Decapitation, Killah Priest (of Wu Tang Clan), and has performed voice-over recording for Comedy Central, Discovery Channel, M&M Mars, Subaru and others.

Bryan's own band, Crash Encore has received local acclaim and success, while recently being nominated for Best New Band at the 2007 San Diego Music Awards.
