EP10: When Melody Meets The Mind with Anthony Bryant

Surviving Your Brain with Dr. Philippe Douyon

In this episode, we are joined by Charles Anthony Bryant, a worship leader at Park Avenue Christian Church, East 85th on Park Avenue.

As a musical visionary artist, Anthony is on a mission to evolve both as a musician, a leader, and a person. On top of being a vocalist and performer, Anthony has also explored his musical passions in composition and managing music programs in church. Bringing his symphony to spirituality, Anthony continues to let his voice be heard in other areas aside from the church, most recently with his latest recording titled Hymnody Volume I (2015).

Don't miss out on this episode, where Dr. Douyon and Anthony explore how music ignites the brain like nothing else!

KEY POINTS:

QUOTABLES:

“Music is incredibly powerful. It impacts different pathways in the brain than the normal just speaking to us and going to language.” - Philippe Douyon

“I'm a skilled musician, but part of my calling within that skill is to take what I do and who I am and the feeling of church — not just the sound of the church, but the feeling of that spirituality into secular spaces and make people feel that.” – Anthony Bryant
