Биография

Licensed Engineer, Songwriter, Former Dance Choreographer, Music Producer & Martial Arts Fanatic Bryan Arias Balucan aka “Kuya Bryan” is a Cebuano songwriter and the founder of OBM (Original Bisaya Music). Although he is known by many for his melody and lyrics, he is more admired because of his speed and versatility. He has 11 Bisaya songs in million views on YouTube (the most for any songwriter on Bisaya songs). After watching his former classmate and friend Franco Reyes of Franco band in Singapore, he was inspired to write songs. It was a big challenge for him to be a songwriter, knowing that he was a dancer/choreographer for almost 18 years with no music background. He started writing in February 2016 and playing the guitar. It was all self-study and pure dedication to learn the art.
