Bryan is a native of the deep south in Alabama and currently resides in the La Crosse, WI, area. As a child Butler knew he was different than the other boys. His first album was George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars, and everyone else was still pretty hung up about the whole Milli Vanilli and New Kids On The Block thing. His love of groove music flourished into a devotion to being the man on the bottom, whether he tooted on his tuba, plugged in a bass guitar, he always likes to keep it funky.  Bryan has a Music Degree from University of Wisconsin La Crosse  and is  a alumnus of UW-L Screaming Eagles Marching Band, and Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps.
