Brian "Bean" O'Neal - (Owner-BCO Media, Inc., Producer, composer,
keyboardist, software developer) was born in Detroit, Michigan. At the
age of six, Bean's musical interest awakened when he began taking drum
lessons. Before long, Bean immersed himself in music, mastering the
Saxophone, Bass, and Trombone. He aspired to become a professional
drummer until his Grandmother purchased a Piano for him when he was
sixteen. This was a pivotal moment in Bean's musical development and
marked the exploratory phase of his experimentation with melodies and
chords. His diligence and expertise earned Bean a coveted full
Piano/Music Scholarship at Alcorn University in 1984., quite a
remarkable feat for a self-taught pianist. Currently, Bean is pouring
his soul into an upcoming project called "Daisy" which is dedicated to
the legacy of his late Grandmother, Daisy O'Neal. Find out more about
