Brian Ascenzo (aka 'Cousin_B') is a jazz musician, composer, writer, audio engineer, and producer. During his 35 years in the entertainment business, he has cut a wide path across the industry.

Bolstered by the encouragement of his paternal aunt, Gilda Maiken (Anderson) of the legendary Skylarks vocal group, Brian developed a truly eclectic skillset, both creatively and technically.

As a musician, he has composed, arranged, and performed many styles of music, from classical and jazz to rock and techno - even the odd pit orchestra.

An old school musician, Brian plays guitar (all styles), bass, mandolin, and keyboards.

With past production clients as far afield as Ray Charles, Chrysler, and NASA, the former Synclavier instructor employs a unique and diverse skillset to offer a wide range of musical, audio, and video services.
