Brian Wilson

Sometimes called the Mozart of pop, and arguably one of the greatest songwriters/producers in the history of “rock” music, Brian Wilson started his music career with The Beach Boys in the early 1960s. With an uncanny and inimitable knack for unusual and unexpected chord changes, along with the undertaking of pioneering methods of production (including the innovative utilization of both classical and obscure instruments), Wilson has influenced generations of musicians.

Even when hindered by his record company, his abusive father, his bandmates, and his own mental health issues, Wilson continued to defy expectations and astonish the world with his methods of making music. Wilsons' career has successfully spanned six decades, and he has made recorded music for most of these years as a guest vocalist, producer, writer, with his band or solo. Today, Wilson is seen as one of the best music producers of all time and one America’s greatest contribution to popular music, whose work will unquestionably stand the test of time.
