Early Life

Born in New York City, Tarquin was the only child of Perry Joseph Browne and Pema Browne. Early in Perry's career he worked as a radio announcer and teamed up with the 1950s popular comedy duo the Bob & Ray Show. Perry went on to work as a literary agent, while Pema was a commercial illustrator rep during the 1960's through the late 1980's in Manhattan. In the 1950's and 1960's Pema was a modern artist in New York and had several gallery showings including the 1964 New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadows Park.

Brian grew up in Park Lane Towers on 85th street between Lexington and third avenue. The high rise building with it's round terraces appeared in the opening titles of the popular weekly TV show The Jeffersons. In 1968 as a child Brian was in a shooting in Central Park, today called Ancient Playground on Fifth Avenue right next to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Brian and his father along with two others safely escaped with the help of the New York City Police Department after a stand off with the shooter.

In the 1970s Brian attended various private schools in Manhattan, Trinity School (New York City), Saint David's School (New York City), where one of Tarquin's infamous classmates was Robert Chambers (criminal), the "Preppie Killer". He went on to attend Mannes College The New School for Music for summer composition classes. Disillusioned with the level of crime and city life, Tarquin attended Tri-Valley Central School for his senior year of high school, where his parents had a 19th Century weekend farmhouse in the Catskill Mountains. Growing up as an artists' son, Brian was a frequent visitor to many of New York's finest museums,Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Andrew Carnegie Mansion, Frick Collection and the American Museum of Natural History. Naturally he excelled in art (pottery) and English, winning a number of awards during his last year of high school.

In the mid 1980s he attended the State University of New York at New Paltz, where he studied film, music, audio and history. This was the period where he became exposed to new musical ideas like progressive rock, new wave and punk hardcore. He started being influenced by artists like Jaco Pastorius, King Crimson, Husker Du, The Smiths, Allan Holdsworth, and Public Image Ltd. Tarquin moved back to Manhattan studying audio engineering at the Center for The Media Arts (now defunct), which was on 27th Street across form the Fashion Institute of Technology. During this time Brian also worked at Grey Global Group advertising in the art department, also known as the "bull pen" where graphic artists physically laid out print advertisements before there was computers.

Career Beginnings

Once graduating he started working as an assistant engineer for various recording studios, Electric Lady Studios and Far & Away Studios, where he met his longtime friend and partner Geoff Gray. He started his professional music career at the well known jingle house Look & Company working as an assistant engineer and sales rep.

While working at the jingle house Tarquin connected with the music library James and Aster on 14th Street and Park Avenue. Soon after submitting music to the company they placed his tracks in the CBS Olympic broadcasts of the 1992 and 1994 Olympic Games. Unsatisfied with the music scene in NYC, he moved to Los Angeles in the early nineties. He started producing music for Ogilvy & Mather advertising and was sent to Vancouver to record tracks for Mattel toy commercials.

When first arriving in L.A. he worked as an assistant engineer for Powerhouse Studios in the San Fernando Valley. He also moon lighted at Restless Records in Hollywood working college radio for bands like The Hang Ups and Slim Dunlap. He moved on to work for Virgin Records in Beverly Hills, CA in the business affairs and finance departments working with such famous artists as David Bowie, Lenny Kravitz, Janet Jackson and The Rolling Stones.

Once in L.A. he started composing music for Aaron Spelling shows like Beverly Hills, 90210, Models Inc, and Procter & Gamble soaps like Guiding Light. At this time he met Marc Ferrari who had a music library called Red Engine Music, later to become MasterSource. He started composing various styles of music for Marc, which were successfully used on a host of film and television shows. During this same period Tarquin was also composing music for various libraries as, FirstCom, Jim Long's One Music, Sonoton and Killer Tracks.

Smooth Jazz Career

In 1995 he was signed as a guitar instrumental artist to Jazz Inspiration/MCA Records in Canada and released his first commercial album Ghost Dance. But unhappy with sales results he went over to Instinct Records in New York. In 1997, the release of This is Acid Jazz, Vol. 2 on Instinct Records, which made the Billboard Top 20 Chart. In the same year the label sent to London to record his second solo record, Last Kiss Goodbye, to work with Acid Jazz producer Ernie McKone at Boogie Back Studios. The album produced two top ten NAC AccuRadio Smooth Jazz radio hits for Tarquin, "One Arabian Knight" and the remake of the Jeff Beck classic "Freeway Jam".

In early 1999 Instinct sent him back to London to repeat the magic with McKone again on his third release Soft Touch. This produced the remake of The O'Jays classic Darlin' Darlin' Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love) which Top the charts at 9 and the original composition "Tangled Web" which was charted #1 at CD101.9 New York City. The album also dove into vocal territory with the tracks "Rainfall" and "Read My Mind" as well as another Jeff Beck remake, "You Know What I Mean".

In 2001 he recorded his final Instinct Jazz release "High Life", which keyboardist Chris Ingram produced in New York and L.A. This produced the classic remake of The Doors "Riders On The Storm" and the original cut "Charlemagne". During his Instinct years he appeared on 12 compilations for the label as well, selling over 140,000 records in his career, including releases on his own imprint BHP Music, Ltd.

Following are some media quotes. Jazziz– “Cosmopolitan flair is reminiscent of guitarist Lee Ritenour, with a tincture of Steely Dan.” Jazz Times – “Tarquin’s delivery, though detailed, remains melodic and never ventures into the abstract. Although his acid jazz is a gentler breed of fusion, Tarquin plays with a fleet-fingered, smooth style, which floats across freewheeling pieces…"

Orlando In Heaven

Tarquin's eighth solo album features a cast of musical virtuosos dedicating songs for the victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. Tarquin composed and produced each of these tracks which features guitar icon Larry Coryell (his final recordings before his passing in 2017), vocalist Phil Naro, Grammy jazz guitarist Mike Stern, fretless bass player Tony Franklin (Jimmy Page/Blue Murder), Chris Poland (Megadeth), Hal Lindes (Dire Straits), Will Ray (The Hellecasters), jazz keyboardist Bob Baldwin (musician) & Grammy nominee Denny Jiosa. A portion of proceeds is donated to Catholic Charities of Central Florida. They provide case management and supportive services for victims and family members of the Pulse shooting in Orlando.

Tarquin stated, “Being a Floridian I was moved so much by the Orlando Pulse Shooting, in fact my family and I were in Orlando at the time of the shooting. When I found out that Catholic Charities of central Florida was helping out survivors, I immediately went into action to compose and produce an album to benefit the victims and was very fortunate to work with Larry Coryell on the release before he passed.”

Band Of Brothers

In 2017 Tarquin put together an All-Star cast and formed Band Of Brothers with singer Phil Naro from Billy Sheehan's former band Talas and longtime friend and studio drummer Reggie Pryor. Tarquin produced, engineered and co-composed the album with Naro, which features guest appearances by singer Jeff Scott Soto (Journey, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Steve Morse (Deep Purple), Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal (ex-Guns N' Rose), Trey Gunn (King Crimson), Jeff Watson (Night Ranger), Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake), Gary Hoey, Tony Franklin (Jimmy Page, Blue Murder) and Tina Guo (Al Di Meola).

In typical Tarquin fashion the album features exclusive tracks inspired by those military soldiers who have fought for their country. Partial proceeds from the sales go to the Fisher House Foundation, who supplies housing to veterans' families while they are hospitalized. Music Connection Magazine stated "Dazzling musicianship all the way. Melodic metalheads will find plenty to like in this record. And it's all for a great cause. Nice work!"

Asphalt Jungle

In 1997, he switched gears, took a break from smooth jazz, and with Chris Ingram, formed the rock/electronica band Asphalt Jungle, In fact MTV Road Rules took one of the tracks "Witchcraft" and made it the theme song for the show. The following season Bunim/Murray Productions had the band compose the theme for the new season, that took place on a cruise ship. Many of the demos were used in the show as well, "The Chase", "Private Offender" and "Shaman". They also composed tracks for the original Making The Band that aired on ABC-TV Prime Time. Tracks produced for these shows made up the band's debut album in 2001 Electro Ave which received critical acclaim for mixing guitars and break beats, released on the underground label ROIR. The second release, Enjoy This Trip, successfully charted top 30 on the CMJ charts and was released by Cleopatra Records. The album also includes the chill-out track "Tekken", which debuted in 1999 as MTV's Road Rules, "Bronx Beat" and a vinyl release of Bob Marley Remixed, "Don't Rock My Boat". After Tarquin opened his boutique imprint, BHP Music, Ltd. in 2006, Asphalt Jungle released its 3rd installment entitled Junglization. It charted #19 on the CMJ Charts, which delved into the world of Drum and Bass, with tracks like "Athena", Ripper and another Bob Marley Remix, "Mr Brown". It was no surprise that in 2007 Asphalt Jungle released an entire CD of Bob Marley remixes aptly entitled, "Bob Marley Remixed", with such classics as "African Herbman", "Fussing & Fighting", "Duppy Conqueror" and "Keep On Moving". Media quotes, Vintage Guitar (magazine) “Tarquin’s swoops, dive-bombs, and plain-old riffing are a treat for any rock and soul guitar lover…magnificent rock guitar. 20th Century Guitar “…masterpiece of funk and groove electronica bustling with ultra intense guitar works.”

BHP Music
