ABOUT BRYCE LAYMAN
Bryce Layman grew up in the southeastern states, moving to central Florida with his family in 1968. The only son of a pioneer radio broadcaster, Bryce began guitar lessons at a local music store and was soon playing in garage bands with other teens.

Songwriting began soon after where Bryce accompanied his own poetry with rhythm guitar. Interest in music had begun much earlier through his father's radio station where Bryce later worked as an announcer.

Instead of following music, Bryce Layman pursued a broadcasting degree in college. He followed that with a successful 25-year career in television broadcasting, satellite and cable industries and most importantly raised a family. Bryce continued to play guitar and write music at home during those years.

In the mid-1980's a guitar magazine article led Bryce to a discovery: a form of music known as "New Age". Defined as "an un-intrusive musical style using both acoustic and electronic instruments that draws on classical, jazz and rock music", Bryce bought some records (yes, records) to check it out. Incredible! This was the same type of music Bryce had been writing and playing all along. He was inspired to play and write even more music. Analog home recording equipment drove the desire to create even more music at home in the 1990's.

Job moves brought Bryce Layman and his family westward to live along Colorado's front range. After the new millenniums dot com and telecom meltdown, job downsizing turned into opportunity where Bryce returned to his first love of music. Spring 2004 Bryce Layman began a new record label business called Far View Music, an e-commerce Internet site BryceLayman.com, and a private digital project recording studio where Bryce recorded his first album titled "Remembrance". Bryce has a deep archive of music to call upon for future releases.

Unique to other music, Bryce Layman composes and records his new age orchestrated guitar instrumentals on a guitar synthesizer and electric and acoustic guitars. Bryce now lives and works in central Florida enjoying quality time with his family, growing musically and being involved in his community.
