As a composer and performer, his music has qualified for inclusion in the official ballot of the Grammy Awards, USA. A long term recording artist, Brian's pedal steel guitar playing was first featured on an album recorded at Tamworth, Australia in 1978 titled 'Steel Guitars of Australia Live'. This album showcased the legendary Jerry Byrd on steel guitar, along with a host of Australian artists.
1999, Brian became the first Australian musician to be given the honour of a full album release on the prestigious New York label, Music Minus One.

This album remains available internationally and was recently reissued in a revised format by the Hal Leonard Corporation, the largest sheet music publisher globally.
Brian's playing and compositions have been featured as soundtrack material on the Channel 7, 9 and SBS television networks, and the MMM, Austereo and ABC radio networks in Australia. His music continues to be broadcast in various countries internationally.
