金·布瑞克曼簡介
Jim Brickman(金·布瑞克曼),1961年11月20日出生在美國俄亥俄,兒童時代就開始接觸音樂,且聽過不少六十年代初的兒歌,直至10歲,他終於擁有生平第一部鋼琴,並藉此大展其音樂才華。19歲在克利夫蘭音樂學院就讀時,他是全校古典音樂結構和表演課程的差生。布瑞克曼說,“每個人都專注於對古典的感覺,但我卻期待研究主流音樂。”“創作音樂對我而言是一件非常自然的事。”19歲的布瑞克曼在校園中被認為是音樂殿堂中的邪派人物。做一名商業作曲家是布瑞克曼的夢想,當他把本身創作的樂曲錄音帶寄到紐約頂尖的廣告公司時,他即成為金·漢森和漢森協會的重要委託人,並為兒童電視節目製作音樂。同時,布瑞克曼與漢森協會亦為迪士尼的電視與電影音樂工作效勞。這些對於布瑞克曼與漢森協會合作為迪士尼作曲奠定了基礎。
不久,布瑞克曼開始創作一些廣告曲等商業短曲,他開始為自己的公司(Brickman Arrangement)以及其他的一些知名公司如 Pontiac、The Gap、The Walt Disney Company 和 McDonald's 譜曲,後來他與 Jim Henson 和 Associates 搭檔為 Muppets 和 Sesame Street 寫曲。
隨後,布瑞克曼期望突破商業短曲(廣告曲)創作的限制並開始他自己的錄音事業,1994年他與 Windham Hill 簽約並發行了《No Words 盡在不言中》。《No Words 盡在不言中》中的一首單曲《Rocket To The Moon》成為Billboard Top 排行榜上進入前40名的第一首樂器獨奏曲。1995年發行了《By Heart》,進入“the adult contemporary marke”並擠進了TOP10。《Hero's Dream》還被收錄為NBC的夏季奧運會宣傳歌曲。
1997年,布瑞克曼發行了兩張專輯《Picture This》和《the Gift》,《Picture This》這張專輯中邀請了佳賓 Martina McBride 和薩克斯風演奏家 Boney James 與其合奏;1998年發行了《Visions of Love》;1999年發行了《Destiny》;在2000年發行的《My Romance: An Evening with Jim Brickman》專輯中,布瑞克曼生平第一次自己演唱。這張專輯邀請了 Olivia Newton-John、Donny Osmond 及 Dave Koz 等嘉賓合作演出;2001年他發行了《Simple Things》;2002年他推出了《Love Songs & Lullabies》且開始巡迴演出,一個同名的PBS節目也由媒體播出了。
布瑞克曼的音樂風格非常之廣泛。他曾同 Pam Tillis、Martina McBride、Michael W. Smith、Carly Simon、Billy Porter 及其他各種類型的藝術家合作。由於唱片發行的巨大成功和音樂會的叫座使其在音樂界擁有了自己的一席之地。
布瑞克曼是新世紀曲風中最傑出的作曲人和鋼琴手之一。 在樂壇Brickman素有“鋼琴詩人”之美譽,事實上他善於譜寫憾動人心的抒情樂曲。除了彈奏鋼琴,布瑞克曼還是一位知名的作曲家和演員,現為Brickman系列工作室的負責人。也曾替七喜、新力、麥當勞、耐克、露華濃和 AT&T 等企業創作過廣告音樂。
除了在廣播音樂方面的成就,布瑞克曼還榮獲許多音樂獎項,包括休斯頓國際電影節大獎、倫敦國際電影獎、克雷奧斯獎、泰利斯獎和安迪獎,他還為一些著名的卡通片作曲,如《布蘭特船長》、《希望孩子》等等。
布瑞克曼工作室主要為廣播、電影及電視的原創音樂服務,他的周末電台節日《你的周末》被許多海濱城市的75個電台選中進行播放,金 凱利、湯姆 克魯斯、惠特妮 休斯頓等巨星曾作為該節目的嘉賓。
布瑞克曼秉持著對音樂的崇高理念和一份敏感的市場感覺,他的名字在世界不脛而走,更被PBS讚揚為“全美最棒、最浪漫的作曲家、鋼琴家及演奏家”。
布瑞克曼近些年的作品有為迪士尼電視頻道創作的電視影片和現場錄播電視專輯的音樂,還有有麥當勞和百事可樂贊助的1993年地球日的兒童音樂志輯。
在過去的這十年,如果說有誰堪稱新世紀樂壇最具有商業魅力的鋼琴演奏者,那么,布里克曼當之無愧。他有著精湛而不落俗套的演奏技巧和作曲才華,外型俊秀,同時在舞台上更充滿著幽雅和詼諧兼具的颱風,組合成令人難以抗拒的魅力。從他成名以來所推出的專輯,大部分都奪下了NEW AGE專集排行的冠軍。稱他為當代新世紀樂壇的鋼琴王子,毫不為過。
