Ryan Brolliar
[Biography]
Ryan Brolliar has been an inspiration and connected with others his entire life.
Starting with music at a young age, Ryan has always enjoyed doing anything that
brought people together. At age 5 he studied the “Suzuki Method” on the piano,
honing his ear for music. Playing recitals in front of his Elementary and Junior
High schools, and travelling to Utah in the summer for piano performances were
just a couple of reasons why Ryan built such a strong foundation of music at such a
young age!
It was only a matter of time until Ryan, age 11, started picking up and learning
multiple instruments. He learned to play the clarinet, sax, guitar, African drums,
ukulele, trumpet, harmonica, and accordion. His love and ability to play a variety
of instruments then quickly grew into a joy for entertaining others. Ryan has been a
featured musician and performer for the San Diego Chargers, San Diego Padres,
Horton Grand, Westfield Mall, La Valencia Hotel, and has also provided live
music for over 30 San Diego wedding ceremony and receptions.
Ryan Brolliar is currently giving back to the San Diego community by contributing
his musical talents to soothe convalescent patients at Brighton Place, Vi La Jolla,
and Bella Vista Assisted Senior Living facilities. He is also a Community Project
Manager for (Art and Music Service Learning) events with the San Diego Padres,
San Diego Coalition for the Homeless, and O’Farrell Community School.

Before becoming a professional musician, I taught school for 7 years in a very low-income area.
Above are 2 of the projects I did with these children. Definitely the most rewarding experiences
of my life.
