about me

hello! my name is bri, i'm a 26 y/o musician and audio engineer from pittsburgh, pa. my main loves in life (beside my beautiful wife) are my music projects - brake run (shoegaze est. 2023) and bexley moms (seapunk est. 2017). i've also had stints in bands like yes yes a thousand times yes (emo) and still tired (pop punk). i have a bachelors degree in audio engineering, and you can find some of my work over at my portfolio page.
music-wise, shoegaze is my life. ever since i first heard the stargazer lillies open for best coast in 2016, my life changed for good. recent influences include:
- blue smiley
- they are gutting a body of water
- hotline tnt
- swirlies
- full body 2
- feeble little horse
- ringo deathstarr
- life on venus
- ovlov
- alvvays
- duster
- horse jumper of love
- lush
and some older influences (they're all over the place and may or may not be relevant to my current tastes) are:
- twenty one pilots
(ugh) - foster the people
- the velvet teen
- fall out boy
- dave matthews band
- tracy chapman
- deadmau5
- skrillex
when i'm not working on music, i have an obsession with roller coasters, how they're made, how they look, and the history surrounding them. i am obsessed with my home park, kennywood, and more particularly the coaster the phantom's revenge. i'll be devoting a shrine to it soon, so be on the lookout :) i also enjoy video games and speedrunning. some games i've enjoyed over the years are:
- super mario bros series
- mario kart
- grand theft auto
- schedule 1
- club penguin (and subsequent cpps like journey)
- pokemon series
- early halo games
- ...and other one-off nostalgia games from the 2000s
some people are tv and movie people, not really me. i don't watch a ton of movies (though my wife is trying to forcefeed me them slowly) and the only tv i do watch is trashy reality tv a la kitchen nightmares or supernanny. anime was never quite my jam and i never really do books. i do, however, love a good documentary. don't really have any recs, but there's quite a few i'v enjoyed. i guess this proves i'm just really into music.
