About Chris Bryan

With the release of his sophomore effort, “The Sum of my Habits,” Chris Bryan has further proven himself to be a major force among singer/songwriters. Delicately balancing between jazz, pop, and blues, Bryan has blended a variety of musical genres and created a truly unique sound. I feel like I’m done trying to prove to the world that I can write clever lines with quick rhyme schemes. Music isn’t supposed to be a puzzle, it’s supposed to express the truth about my place in the world and how I feel about that particular place. Now, I’m not saying that I don’t try to write anything with wit, or that rhyme schemes aren’t important, because I do and they are, but the reason I’m so pleased with “The Sum of my Habits,” is that the material is more earnest, straightforward, and heartfelt. These songs are a true expression of my habits – the way I interact with my life emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.” “The title of the album is actually borrowed from Aristotle,” Bryan reveals. “In some of my reading I came across an Aristotelian statement which argued that a man’s character is simply ‘the sum of his habits.’ I like that. Someone can talk the day away about who they want to be and what their future holds, but in actuality, we’re just the sum of our habits. I wanted to address this issue head-on with the new album. I wanted each song to be an insight into my character – my thoughts, my dreams, my fears, and consequently, my habits." The album is packed with emotionally charged material, from “Seasons” – a quiet prayer for change, to “Thousand Times Goodbye” – a painfully honest description of the difficulties in letting go of a relationship. The result is an incredibly revealing and personal collection of songs that show a well developed talent for imagery and metaphor, as well as a performer’s charm. With the strength of this new album and the nationwide recognition Chris Bryan is gaining, it seems inevitable that people will be more than satisfied in making “The Sum of my Habits” one of their favorite listening habits.
