BIOGRAPHY
Two worlds.
One musician.
Bryan Lubeck picked up a guitar at age ten in a small town, taught by a teacher who also played piano, bass, and mandolin. She planted something in him that never stopped growing.
​
What followed was a parallel life. Alongside a long career at the highest levels of enterprise technology marketing, Bryan quietly built a second one, writing, recording, and performing original music that blends the fire of Spanish flamenco guitar with smooth jazz, adult contemporary, and urban grooves. His sound has been described by Billboard Magazine as weaving "a rich tapestry of Latin, urban and pop music," romantic, energetic, and unmistakably his own.
​
Over two decades of releasing and performing original music, Bryan has accumulated millions of streams, regular radio airplay on SiriusXM and smooth jazz stations nationwide, two Amazon #1 albums, and a Billboard chart debut as recently as 2025. His original song "Top Down" was selected as the theme song for a Microsoft product release, a reminder that music, when it connects, finds its way into unexpected places.
​
He has been featured twice in Fingerstyle Guitar Journal, the industry standard publication for serious players, with original compositions "Rhett Relents" and "Adirondack" included for readers to learn from tablature. He also authored his own article series in the journal, Have Talent, Will Travel.
​
Bryan performs regularly across the Midwest and is available for concerts, corporate events, festivals, private engagements, and media appearances.
IT UNPLUGGED
Where tech met music
​In 2020, when COVID silenced every stage and canceled every live event, a major enterprise software company needed a way to reach their audience. They turned to Bryan.
He conceived, developed, and hosted IT Unplugged - a live virtual series pairing technology conversations with world-class music performances. The format worked. 33 episodes later, with over 67,000 registrants and still running, it has become an industry staple.
In each episode Bryan brought in artists he knew and admired and in many cases, performed alongside them.
