Braun Khan

Braun Khan was born on January 18th, 1980 and has been playing bass for over 15 years. He is from Mount Pleasant Michigan and began playing the acoustic guitar and then the electric bass in high school. He quickly developed a love for music and began playing quite extensively in church groups and local bands. His experiences ranged from pop/rock to gospel to funk.

A few years after taking up the electric bass his interests expanded to jazz and the upright bass. He began studying classical and jazz bass performance at Central Michigan University, along with maintaining a busy schedule playing electric bass with local and regional musicians. He was also serving full-time as a Music Director at a non-denominational church.

After completing a Master of Music degree in double bass performance at Central Michigan University he was hired by the university to teach classes in jazz theory and to oversee their community outreach program. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Arts in Jazz Studies at the University of Northern Colorado and is a very active part of the Northern Colorado music scene, gigging frequently in jazz and funk/rock groups as well as with classical ensembles. When not busy with music he enjoys spending time with his wife and five children.
