Brian Larsen(I)

Brian Larsen was born in Laurel, Maryland, and began learning the piano at age 5. Shortly thereafter, he began writing original pieces, and by age 10 had amassed a collection of original pieces that would later become his debut album, "Pi." Throughout the period between 1996 and 2001, Larsen released 5 albums, but by early 2002, he had emerged as one of the definitive independent artists of the pop/rock genre. In 2003, while working on his seventh album, he was presented with an RIAA gold record award for his work on the million-selling All-American Rejects' debut, making him one of the 100 youngest artists ever to receive the award. By 2004, Larsen had broadened his spectrum to include acting, after appearing in the 2005 film XXX2: State of the Union. Larsen plans to continue acting, already having been given offers from several productions, as well as to continue writing music. He plans to release his eighth album in 2005.
