Brian Usifer on SoundBetter

I love collaborating and working with people to get what's in their head to be what is in the production. My band, The Nineteen Twenty just released our first album which we wrote, produce, and recorded entirely on Zoom. In my time working in theatre I worked with Cyndi Lauper, Huey Lewis, The Avett Brothers, and Lamont Dozier.

Brian Usifer is a musician, producer, and composer available for multiple genres and styles. He loves arranging for strings and is very comfortable with samples as well as live orchestras. Equally comfortable with pop, indie, and folk, his influences as a producer include Finneas, Greg Kurstin, Jack Antonoff, and Max Martin.

You can hear Brian as a pianist on Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and as an additional orchestrator on NBC's The Wiz Live. He performed on the cast album for Cyndi Lauper's Kinky Boots which won a Grammy award in 2013 for Best Musical Theatre Album. You can also hear him performing with Clay Aiken on PBS's "Tried and True.

He holds a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from SUNY Fredonia, a Masters degree in Collaborative Piano from NYU and a Specialist Certificate in Orchestration for Film/TV from Berklee Online.
