Biography
38-year-old musician/composer Brian Hess, served the US Navy as an award winning veteran military broadcast and print journalist. Beginning as early as 2002 and formerly known also as Gezha Prime, Brian's old project was a conceptual act of the electronica genre, incorporating various subgenres and styles with organic brass and stringed instruments, which he coins as organica. Raised in Muncy, Pennsylvania, Hess a resident of Seattle, Washington, continues to pursue musical interests as a legacy musician. His first experiences in music were at home where his mother, Victoria Thompson-Hess, taught him his first trumpet lessons. While growing up, he participated her professional brass choir. Hess attributes his talent and drive to pursue instrumental and compositional music due to her inspirational support during his teen years. After a ten-year-long US Navy career, Hess attended Olympic College in Bremerton, where he played French horn for the wind ensemble and trumpet for the jazz/stage band. There he also pursued music theory and studied under Tony Grasso, another trumpet mentor. He also played baritone horn and French horn for the Farragut Brass, a British-style brass band sponsored by the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. He remained with this grouptheory and classical trumpet performance.

His experience with software suites such as Sonar Producer, Samplitude, Magix, Cakewalk, Kinetic, Fruity Loops 7 XXL, Reason 4.0, and a multitude of virtual synthesizers helps him to create diverse sounds by combining multiple palettes. Hess’s goal for Gezha Prime is to promote experimental ideas into the electronica genre and still play the club scene, bringing his own unique style to a major labor for mass distribution all over the world. His music has been hosted on various online music distributors but has settled into Mixposure.com fair exclusively, where all his composition recordings can be found for purchase and download.
