Artist description For a complete bio and more information, check out the Official Brian Benjamin Carter Website (http://bbcarter.cmj.com).Unique, Category-Defying Artist. If anything characterizes B’s music, it is the broad range of influences, styles, dynamics, and instrumentation he utilizes in his art. B’s music is difficult to categorize because he not only has so many varied influences, but also because he composes in several different modes:-Electronic (Dance, Electronica, Techno, Trip Hop, Club, Hip-Hop), Acoustic Singer-Songwriting (Folk, Ballad, Rock), New Age or Ambient, and any combination of the above styles. Fortunately, modern popular music has precedents for artists who change styles and/or integrate disparate types of music into one new sound.
