Brian Roman - As Long as I Have Music

Brian Roman had dreamt of being a professional entertainer all his life. The dream largely remained just a dream, as Brian built a high profile, thriving career in the insurance & real estate world for over 20 years. Blessed with a natural ability to sing and a deep passion for helping others in need, Brian put those gifts to work as a powerhouse producer of many successful fundraising events which he not only organized, but performed at as well. It was while satisfying these deep passions that an ever-growing, rabidly enthusiastic audience began to demand more. Natural momentum took hold and a serious rethinking of his life's purpose and direction became undeniable.

In September of 2005, Brian made the life-altering decision to change his career title from "Brian Roman - 20 Year Insurance & Real Estate Professional" to "Brian Roman - Entertainer", and so immediately went to work on his debut CD. But that alone wasn't enough, Brian decided to take the biggest gamble of his life and book Roy Thomson Hall - one of Canada's premier concert halls. The show was a triumphant sell-out and Brian Roman found himself with a large front page headline, picture, and story in the Toronto Star the next morning along with interviews on CBC Radio, AM 740, CFRB, and City TV's evening news. His trademark generosity once again was expressed through an $8,000 donation from ticket and CD sales to allow a child's wish to come true through the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada. Brian Roman, the entertainer, had arrived!

Brian RomanThrough these many appearances, along with training from the internationally acclaimed Canadian tenor, Mark DuBois, Brian Roman has transformed into the consummate professional entertainer. Wherever he performs, large enthusiastic audiences find themselves captivated by his charismatic stage presence, accomplished baritone/tenor voice, personal warmth, sincerity and generosity of spirit.

Brian Roman is now heavily booked throughout Canada and the US. His newest CD titled "As Long As I Have Music" features 3 brand new songs, 2 of which Brian co-wrote, the third being deeply connected and dedicated to the memory of his grandmother titled "Forever in My Song". The CD is rounded out with Brian's truly inspired takes on classics spanning the golden era ranging from Sinatra to Elvis to Tom Jones. Brian continues to make himself available for charities and is always thrilled to lend his talents and time in the aid of others in need.

As a testiment to their ongoing belief in Brian Roman's music and spirit, songs from the new CD have already been added to the play rotation on radio stations, The Jewel 88.5 FM in Toronto and 98.5 FM in Ottawa.

As the momentum continues, this year will see Brian Roman entertaining as a headliner in front of tens of thousands of new fans throughout North America and being heard on radio by hundreds of thousands of new listeners.

Brian's vision has turned into a positive inspiring reality of what's possible if we dare to act on a dream.

......but as the song says, "The Best Is Yet To Come".
