Bryan Chen is an acoustic/electronic pop-rock artist based in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. Known for crafting full-band arrangements as a solo musician, Bryan’s music fuses layered production with organic instrumentation to create a sound that is both expansive and intimate.
A classically trained pianist since the age of six, Bryan’s musical foundation is rooted in discipline and versatility. He later added violin to his repertoire, performing internationally with the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra across Europe and the Middle East. On guitar, he played with the Kaitlin Sweeney Band, contributing to their win at the Spark Concert Series’ Battle of the Bands in Delaware.
Drawing inspiration from Extreme, John Mayer, Dave Matthews, jazz, classical, and pop/rock, Bryan blends technical precision with emotional depth. His evolving sound has been shaped by years of collaboration with a wide range of artists and producers. He is also the founder of Bear Mix Records, where he continues to explore new sonic territory while supporting other independent musicians.
With a deep respect for musicality and a DIY ethos at his core, Bryan Chen’s work captures the heart of a full band—crafted by one.
