Bryan Persaud

Music has been a part of Bryan Persaud’s life for as far back as he can remember. The London-born, Canada-based artist came into this world in the midst of the ‘60s. A magical time for music that in turn inspired him to start playing in bands by the time he was 12-years-old. Disco songs sung in the garage with buddies soon evolved to his first serious rock band, Liquid Pearl. They evolved into The Omen and by 1980 had recorded a few original songs for a local radio contest. Bryan Persaud continued playing in bands throughout his adult life and eventually found himself where he is today; a solo artist playing alongside a group of talented studio musicians from an outfit called Tunedesigner in Georgia on ‘Broken Down Romance,’ available now.



Bryan Persaud wrote, composed, and arranged all of the songs on his latest release, ‘Broken Down Romance,’ except the solid cover he did of Glen Campbell’s “Honey Come Back.” Throughout his new material one can hear personal accounts that follow what Persaud calls “from youthful ideals to love and loss, through the trials of life.” Songs like the title track and “Second Chance” both paint vivid pictures of the tales they tell. “Broken Down Romance” laments the desperation of someone pleading for their partner to love them again recognizing that work, the pursuit of money, raising a family and just trying to survive day-to-day, got in the way, while the latter tells the tale of a time where a couple is alone again as partners, getting to know each other again with the hope of starting a new adventure. While personal to an artist like Persaud, these are universal sentiments people will be able to latch onto around the world. While audiences will appreciate the stories Bryan tells through song, they’ll appreciate what he brings to the table vocally just as much.



His powerful vocals have always made him stand out amongst his peers. That teamed with his ability to craft stories and set them to song has made him a fan favourite throughout his career. From receiving major praise and play for his Top 40 Ourstage Country Charts song “Christmas Present” to writing two original songs and the musical score for a short indie film called ‘Mr. Metrosexual,’ he has been able to spread his reach near and far. Not only on radio and in film but also live at various gigs over the past 15 years, including a charity benefit where the proceeds went to help a young girl battling cancer. Persaud has a love for all genres of music and recognizes that it has had a role at certain points in his life and shaped who he is.



Like many artists, Bryan Persaud had to readjust his plans in 2020 with the COVID-19 outbreak. He is filling his time creating new music so that he will be ready when he can return to the stage. He is also working on getting his name out there as a songwriter so that in due time he can have his compositions recorded by mainstream artists like his early inspiration Don Henley.
