Realizing the Dream
Realizing The Dream is Bryan's third Christian/Gospel/Sacred CD. And as he allows the Lord to lead him, he continues to rise to new heights. Bryan uses his three and a half octave range to the fullest as he shares the journey of his realization. He opens with his truly inspired "Prayer Of Realization". Then he reminds us that no matter what storms we have to face that "The Anchor Holds"(Our Lord). In "Battle Hymn Of The Republic", he reminds us that no matter what war we are facing, our Lord will take care of us. And no matter how fierce the battle that "There Is A Balm In Gilead". And as we "Wade In The Water" following Him how safe we are. So we must "Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus". "Undeserving" tells how God never gives up on us no matter how much we take Him for granted. Since we can do all things through Him who strengthens us, "I Believe I can Fly". "Were You There" reminds us just how much our Lord loves us; what a mighty God we serve!!!!!Chosen For The Dream - CD
As Bryan releases his first Christmas (and Sacred) CD, “Chosen for the Dream”, he truly feels chosen and blessed. To still have a 3-½ octave range after many years of singing is a blessing. And, since rededicating himself to the Lord, he’s on a special mission.For those who are just meeting Bryan, he’s a minister-singer-songwriter, born and reared in St. Louis, MO; lived several years in Los Angeles, CA where he worked with and is still compared to some of the best; now making his home in Kansas City, MO, the journey continues.
Bryan opens his set singing every note (lead and background) on a doo-wop classic with a Bryan style twist. He revisited two tunes he had previously recorded, “The Lord’s Prayer” and “Jesus Is The Answer” (lyrics by Bryan). Those who have followed his music will really appreciate the new renditions (won’t they, Pastor Rick Matson?) Bryan goes on to give us some familiar carols ala Bryan and a classic rendition of “Do You Hear What I Hear.” Bing Crosby would truly be proud! (and the youngsters said, “Bing who?”). He ends his set with an accapella medley (singing every note).
Still Dreamin' - CD
With his release of his latest C-D, "Still Dreaming", Bryan has reached new heights as well as showing his depth and sensitivity.His first release from his "Ooh Baby, Baby" C-D is being heralded as a stellar tribute to Bryan's all time idol Mr. William Bill "SMOKEY" Robinson.
Bryan continues to shine with his sweet falsetto on "MS", a tribute to the beauty and strength of ladies.
Bryan's concern about the world's current condition, especially the young who are living in so much uncertainty, is expressed in composition of "I Have a Dream" and is predicted to do well.
His rendition of "The Bump" Re-mix entices both the young and old to let their bodies SWA-AAY. "Skipping Work" (a sweet, soul ballad floater). "Sunday" (a truly fine cut) and "I'll Love You Tomorrow" (a most pleasant slice of balladry) as published by David Cole in his IN THE BASEMENT magazine in England.
Bryan really shows his skills on these tunes not only singing the lead vocals but, all the background vocals as well.
The great HIP HOP grove of his version of "Summertime", introduces to some and reacquaints others with the Gershwin classic and has brought many smiles to the faces of those reminiscing the joys of summer.
The C-D is being well received both Nationally and Internationally.

Every now and then we receive a truly unique project for review. So is the case with Bryan Austin's Still Dreamin. We were not prepared for the rich falsetto voice only after a moment we realized hat Bryan Austin was very special. Cut one a Cover of Ms. was artfully done with perfect pitch and imaginative phrasing. Cut two I have a Dream has a Strong Rockin Gospel flavor with excerpts by Rev Martin Luther King, Jr. sure to become a seasonal favorite. Cut three The Classic Summertime is masterfully done with a jazz riff that fits like a glove. five six eight nine and ten are noteworthy but the highlight of the CD is cut seven Smokey Robinson's Ooh Baby ,Baby demonstrates the versatility of Mr. Bryan Austin. All and all Still Dreamin by Bryan Austin is Classic Grown Folks Music.
