Find out more about Brian:

As someone who has been a huge fan of both music and video games his whole life, the explosion of the music and rhythm video game genre was like second nature for Brian Shea. Having played real guitar and bass for over 8 years, the transition to plastic instruments was a little tricky at first, but in less than a year, Brian was winning local and regional Guitar Hero and Rock Band tournaments. He has been a regular member of the incredibly popular website, ScoreHero.com, since 2007, where he has conversed with some of the top Guitar Hero and Rock Band players in the world. When he's not playing music video games, Brian can usually be found loading his iPod up with a mix of classic rock and metal or in the center of whatever concert is going on around him. Brian has come to embrace music and rhythm games not as a replacement for playing real instruments, but as a new way to experience the music that he loves.
