Bryan O'Quinn was one of the few underground dance music artists to enjoy negligible mainstream exposure during the late 80s and early 90s heyday of hip-hop soul. O'Quinn's smooth seductive crooning style and exciting dance moves earned him a significant female following and made him a presence on the up and coming R&B, dance and underground house music scene.
Even after industry grimier brands of output eclipsed the ultramodern love stories OQuinn favored, he transitioned his music into the more retro-leaning neo-soul movement, as it was honest and inevitable.

Why this name?
Bryan O'Quinn is my real name. Bryan means strong and O'Quinn means wise.
Do you play live?
Yes, I love the live performance experience. When Im onstage the exchange with my audience is amazing! It really is like a giving relationship that loves you back. I will be promoting the new album, although we have no dates as of yet.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I have been making records since the late 80s. Although I was very young at the time, I actually remember having my music produced and distributed on vinyl. [Smiling] Some of the younger people I am with just think that is so funny. I recall going to record stores in New York and truth is it was really an amazing time for music. Im glad that I had that experience.
Today, the internet has opened up a world of possibility for people who appreciate music to experience things they never would have experienced,"

"For many artists the internet has truly leveled the playing field for independent musicians - I for one am greatful.
