Brian Canham

Musician Brian Canham was born on July 3 in 1962. He grew up in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Canham's first job was as a cabinet maker. In 1982 Brian and high school friend Pierre Gigliotti formed the rock group Pseudo Echo. Pseudo Echo scored seven Top 10 hit singles on the Australian pop radio charts and was one of the most popular groups in Australia in the mid 80s. Pseudo Echo had their biggest international success with an exciting and inspired cover of Lipps Inc.'s catchy disco soul anthem "Funkytown." The band broke up in 1990. Pseudo Echo got back together in 1999 and continue to tour and perform all over Australia. Outside of his work with Pseudo Echo as a lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter, Brian has mixed, produced, and co-written platinum selling singles and albums for the pop group Chocolate Starfish. In addition, Brian co-wrote and produced the hit single "Santuary" for Origene; this song reached #2 on the US Billboard Club Pop Charts. Canham's remix of Anthony Callea's "Live for Love" was a Top 10 pop radio hit in Australia. Moreover, Brian has also done sound design, jingle writing, artist development, and management. Canham's company Mumbo Jumbo Music has produced radio and television commercial jingles for such high profile clients as 7-Eleven, National Australia Bank, Just Jeans, Coca-Cola, Heinz, Kraft, Mobil, BP, Peters, Mattel, LG, Austereo, and Fisher Price.
