Walker, Brett Spirit Junky

BRETT WALKER was born and raised in the small town of Norman, Oklahoma. After talking his father into buying him a black Gibson Les Paul custom for his 14th birthday BRETT found his passion for music and formed "Dry Ice", a band renowned for their LED ZEPPELIN covers and volume. At age 19 he escaped to Los Angeles and began his professional career as guitarist with singer/songwriter NICK GILDER; playing "Hot Child in the City" more than he cares to admit. Later that year, BRETT hooked up as a hired gun guitarist with RCA recording artist and "one hot babe", TANE CANE. Needless to say, BRETT took the job. Urged by music industry veterans, BRETT struck out on his own as a songwriter. His immediate success included the Top 10 single "Waiting For Love" recorded by ALIAS on EMI Records. He signed with EMI and had a fruitful relationship with them for nearly a decade. Still writing and recording as an independent artist, BRETT set his sights on fi lm and television and heard his songs on over 200 television and fi lm productions. To top off this new and exciting time, BRETT had a Top 40 single in Europe, "Lecia". On his next record he had a number 1 hit in Sweden; "It's a good thing". BRETT was scared of Scandinavian women (from his prior trip), so he did not promote the CD in the territory where he had the hit. Plus his future ex-wife, "Lecia", would not let him go! Now single, BRETT lives in Colorado and enjoys snow boarding, watching people fall down in the snow and the television program "Whatever Happened To..." to feel better about himself.
