BryanStars (actually Bryan Odell , born May 22, 1990 in Lincoln , Nebraska ) is an American Internet entertainer and music blogger . He is best known for his YouTube channels, on which he uploads interviews that he has conducted with musicians from the national and international music scene.

biography

Bryan Odell was born on May 22, 1990 and grew up in Lincoln , the capital of the state of Nebraska . He was a student at Lincoln East High School, where he graduated in 2008. He studied at the University of Nebraska for two years . He left university to work on his YouTube channel and website. One reason for starting his YouTube channel was the fact that rock and metal music received less attention in the music scene.

"Everyone's already talking about Justin Bieber. No one's talking about Warped Tour or even Slipknot. I definitely go for my niche audience. There is a huge online following for these alternative rock bands. And MTV really isn't about music anymore. So where do you go to find the next big thing? "
