A Midwest native who has spent most of his life in Racine, WI, Bryan Hicks has been in the civil engineering field for almost 30 years, where he has honed his skills of organizing and planning.  Bryan began his humble beginnings as an event planner first as a hobby.  His love for contemporary jazz music led him to travel to various events where he watched, listened, learned, and eventually organized his own events as a hobby. As he began with organizing local talent, he gradually learned along the way. 

in 2018, Bryan and his wife decided to relocate to Greenville, SC.  After 2 years there, Bryan realized that there was a void in the contemporary jazz field.  Although several cities in neighboring states readily have a jazz presence, it seemed to be lacking in the area. Soon, his passion was once again rekindled.  With the help of a well-known national recording jazz artist, Bryzen Promotions, LLC was born.

His goal is to meet his audience’s entertainment needs, leaving them with an enjoyable and unforgettable experience that will last a lifetime.
