Bryan Beller has more or less done the following things during his lifetime: escaped birthplace Charlottesville, VA at the tender age of six months (only to end up in Westfield, NJ for the next 18 years), graduated Magna Cum Laude from Berklee College Of Music ('93), played bass for Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa's band Z, played bass in former Frank Zappa guitarist Mike Keneally's band Beer For Dolphins, recorded studio tracks with Steve Vai, toured with former MC5 and Epitaph Records artist Wayne Kramer, worked as a consultant in the R&D of Fender's line of Deluxe (active electronics) basses, worked as Artist Relations Director, Export Manager and Product Development Manager for SWR Sound Corporation, performed clinics for SWR Sound Corporation and Taylor Guitars across America, written regular columns for Bass Player Magazine, written a 620-page coming-of-age manuscript, written political columns for the content website noneforyoudear.com, written a 40-installment web journal

entitled The Life Of Bryan, recorded two MullMuzzler CD's with James LaBrie, endorsed (and still does endorse) Mike Lull Custom Basses, D'Addario Prism strings, Taylor Guitars and SWR amplifiers...and smiled occasionally."

Thoughts on MullMuzzler 2: "James actually contacted me through a reference from [Mike] Keneally, and had only heard me from selected recordings. He had a lot of faith in me considering we'd never really played together before we started working together, and I have to say it's been a blast. It's some band, you know? Keneally, Mangini, LaBrie...plus the songwriting of Carl [Cadden James], Matt [Guillory] and Trent [Gardner]...there's a lot of talent going on there. James has been real cool about letting me just kind of "do my thing", and I've had a lot of fun doing it. On this second Mull CD, I did a lot of experimenting with different sounds, some double-tracking of various distortion and bass synth effects generated from this new head I'm using, the SWR Mo' Bass. It's the first album I've done with these sounds, and I'm really happy with the way they turned out both from a bass perspective and for the tunes as a whole. All in all, I'm just psyched to get it out there, and I certainly was psyched to be a part of it."
