Musician / Audio Engineer / Music Producer 

Bryan Reilly, who often works under the moniker B Reilly, is a once in a generation talent. More than a triple threat, he combines a deep understanding of music theory with a realized facility on several instruments and an engineer’s detailed and technical 
technique, making him capable of any job, in any modern studio, with nearly any artist you can think of. He seems to ignore the classic right-brain/left-brain methodology of talent on one side and reason on the other, and fills the shoes of whatever position is required at the moment. As an engineer, he’s highly skilled in Pro Tools, miking techniques and just plain getting good sounds as anyone in the business. As a Producer, he understands what the artist needs and combines that with the intensity of his technical training. As a musician, he’s a deft and gifted drummer, yet he also plays bass, guitar and percussion with nearly as much facility.

B Reilly honed these skills as a Producer, Tracking Engineer, and Mixing Engineer in his early twenties while attending Full Sail School of Audio Arts, the Award-Winning School for Entertainment Media, graduating with an Associates Degree in Recording Arts and a Bachelors Degree in Business Management in 2007. Full Sail was a technological trial and training by fire, an intensive education in every nook and cranny of DAW software programs like Pro Tools, leaving nothing in the field of recording arts unlearned or forgotten. His love for music began much earlier, at his home in Shelby Township, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. At 14, his father gave him his first bass, and that eventually coalesced his talents into a driving passion to become not just a working musician, but a man with all the talents described above. Bryan quickly returned from Full Sail upon graduation to his hometown of Detroit and began the multi-faceted career he now enjoys: He works prodigiously as a tracking and mixing engineer with renowned Detroit area artists; drums steadily with Stewart Francke, Ty Stone and others; produces young singer-songwriters and artists in varied genres and has been a music instructor since 2006, employing a real passion for passing along what he knows to students ranging in age from 5 – 65. In addition to all this activity, B Reilly has taught longer, 20-week courses with as many as 40 students, covering the tents of recording and producing. He’s been the chief engineer at Detroit’s famed Harmonie Park Studios, working with artists as diverse as Dave Mason, Keith Washington and BOB.

He is now a freelance producer and engineer, working out of RMS Studio in Birmingham, MI, as well as smaller project studios. His performing career has known true highlights for such a young talent. Since 2011, B Reilly has toured with the Kid Rock Live extravaganza, playing drums for Kid Rock discovered Ty Stone. The boys have played over 40 sold out arena shows across the country, including Ford Field, Comerica Park and the Kid Rock Cruise.
