Bryan was the first Bon Jovi member to receive a call when [[Jon Bon Jovi]] learned that he had received a recording contract, and agreed to join the band. He chose his stage name when he grew tired of continually having to spell out his entire name. At the time, Bryan was attending [[Rutgers University]] and was studying Pre-Med with a 4.0 GPA. Bryan has played keyboards and sung on all of Bon Jovi's albums, as well as some of the solo albums of Jon Bon Jovi and [[Richie Sambora]]. Bryan has co-written the songs "Love Lies" and "Breakout" on Bon Jovi's [[Bon Jovi (album)|self-titled first album]]; "[[Only Lonely]]," "[[The Hardest Part Is the Night]]," and "To the Fire" on {{proper name|''[[7800° Fahrenheit]]''}}; the hit "[[In These Arms]]" on ''[[Keep the Faith]]''; and "Last Cigarette" on ''[[Have a Nice Day (Bon Jovi album)|Have a Nice Day]]'' (including the international bonus track "Unbreakable") .<ref name="amgbj">{{cite web
