New tracks are pouring out and there's a host of new local artists queuing up to record their songs and experience Brian's production and songwriting expertise. After moving to Australia from New Zealand in 1980, he performed with many Australian bands, securing a Sony recording deal with "The Ones" in 1986 after signing a publishing deal with Rondor Music. Around this time he scored his first song placement on the second Un Canny X-Men album, “What you give is what you get”.
