Brett Gleason

With unflinching candor & literary precision, Brett Gleason reveals his perspective as a gay man with bipolar disorder through music that transforms tender ballads into soaring epic moments.

While his piano-based songwriting & soulful tenor remain constant, Brett’s ability to embrace a wide palette of soundscapes and emotions makes him a one-of-a-kind artist with comparisons to artists as diverse as Tori Amos, Trent Reznor & Rufus Wainwright.
