Hello Everyone,
Brett Boyd was my guest for Live Your Music today.
Brett Boyd is an Independent Music Professional who works as a guitarist, lyricist, composer, producer, and educator.
Brett has collaborated with a wide range of artists including members of the bands Pearl Jam and Sound Garden in genres ranging from world music to punk rock, acoustic rock, and electronica.
After graduating from college with a BA in English, Brett moved to Tokyo, Japan where he began his music career by working for EMI Music Publishing Japan and Virgin Music Japan and helped to administer one of the world’s most vital music catalogs which includes songs recorded by Carol King, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, John Lennon, Guns n’ Roses, and Metallica, to name a few.
Brett continued to live and work in Japan until the birth of his first son Max, then moved back to Northern California and started his music school, Guitar School Rocks, which offers music education and artist development to students of all ages and ability levels.
Brett lives in Mill Valley, California with his wife and two boys and is dedicated to helping others enjoy the benefits of both listening to and making music.
During the show we talked about the joy music adds to life and how Brett is living his music with his guitar school, by performing with his band, and with his family.
During the show I played one of Brett's original songs, Fallen for Filapina which he wrote for his beautiful wife, Odette. We talked about the making of the fun music video that was created to go with the song. You'll want to see the video after you listen to the show – but please listen to our conversation about it first!

Brett's guitar school looks like fun! You can check it out at his website:

As Brett said during the show, if you have questions for him about his guitar school and/or upcoming shows with his band The Marinfidels, you can send him a message at this email address: [email protected]
Please grab a cup of coffee, tea, or your favorite beverage and listen to the replay of my Live Your Music conversation with Brett Boyd. Talking with Brett was inspiring and fun. I'd like to talk with him more about his time in Japan, his bands, and what it's like to attend his guitar school so I am planning to find a time to have him back for another music conversation.
I hope you'll listen and then forward this message to your family and friends so they can hear the show.
Thank you!
Love & Hugs,
Margaux
