BryCel Productions is proud to announce the release of Puzzle Pieces by pianist/composer Bryant Thompson.
A
stellar production of seamless quality, Puzzle Pieces serves as another
reminder of the insane talent that has been pouring out of the Atlanta
area. With a complete complement of the city’s finest musicians that
forms a sideman list too large to mention, Thompson doesn’t pull any
punches with this release. The grooves simmer in a powerful stew that’s
rich in texture and bountiful in flavor.
Born
in Jersey City, NJ, and raised in the small towns of Rowland, Marion,
and Laurinburg, NC, Bryant Thompson is a spiritual and versatile
producer, songwriter, musician and engineer. Bryant operates
in excellence and performs each task from the heart.
Bryant
studied classical piano at Brevard College and studied recording
engineering at the Art Institute of Atlanta. He quickly began carving
his niche in Atlanta’s independent recording community by becoming an
apprentice of Marcus Williams, who is a professional drummer, studio
owner and the Editor In Chief of Urban Drummer Magazine.
Bryant
resides in the Atlanta area with his wife of 15 years and is President
of Brycel Productions: a production and recording company in the Atlanta
metro area. This allows him to create, play, produce and
engineer utilizing all of his talents and abilities. Over the past ten
years he has contributed to many genres ranging from rap to country.
Bryant’s versatility allows him to play on one project, produce another
and engineer yet another.
Some of the artists and producers that
Bryant has engineered for are: Maurice Rogers, Kurt Carr, Darrell
Freeman, Paulis Sanchez, Ron James, Candi Staton and Jeremy Haynes. For
production work, some of the artists Bryant has collaborated with
include: Cheryl Andreasen, Antoine Knight, Steve ‘Left Hand’ Lewis, John
Lytch, Prince A. Martin III, Michael S. Smith and G. Wright.
Working with many recording artists over the years has been very
fulfilling. It has given both Bryant and the artists a chance to share,
learn and grow from one another. Bryant has contributed to many
recording projects over the years, but completing a project of his own
musical compositions was a dream come true.
