Bio

Brian "Bean" O'Neal - (Owner-BCO Media, Inc., Producer, composer, keyboardist, software developer) was born in Detroit, Michigan. At the age of six, Bean's musical interest awakened when he began taking drum lessons. Before long, Bean immersed himself in music, mastering the Saxophone, Bass, and Trombone. He aspired to become a professional drummer until his Grandmother purchased a Piano for him when he was sixteen. This was a pivotal moment in Bean's musical development and marked the exploratory phase of his experimentation with melodies and chords. His diligence and expertise earned Bean a coveted full Piano/Music Scholarship at Alcorn University in 1984., quite a remarkable feat for a self-taught pianist. Currently, Bean is pouring his soul into an upcoming project called "Daisy" which is dedicated to the legacy of his late Grandmother, Daisy O'Neal. Bean credits his Grandmother for both influencing and nurturing his musical endeavors. Brian O'Neal is a truly talented musician whose compositions resonate that there is no limit to musical artistry. Listen to his work and enjoy the musical journey it will carry you on.
