Biography

Praised as “wonderful and dynamic” by the President of the United States, Brayden Drevlow is a concert pianist and adventure traveler from Thief River Falls, Minnesota. Known for putting “the X in extreme,” he lives a life of chasing adventures, pushing the comfort zone, and never allowing dreams to go unpursued.

Drevlow began playing piano and violin at age 5, alongside his musical family of 13. He studied Piano Performance at Concordia College (Moorhead, Minnesota) under the tutelage of Dr. Jay Hershberger. Drevlow won several concerto competitions and has performed as a featured soloist with multiple symphony orchestras; along with extensive solo piano tours in the United States. He regularly performs all over the world in starkly divergent places; from Embassies and Parliaments to the coldest inhabited place on the planet (-72 Siberia). Other unique performances include ragtime piano at Disneyland, "Barber of Seville" in Seville Spain, hurricane relief concerts in Puerto Rico, piano bars in Killarney Ireland, and even harpsichord at the home of George Washington. 

In his travels, Drevlow has been to over 100 countries. He began traveling from a young age with his family on roadtrips in the United States. By age 15, he had visited nearly every corner and almost every National Park in the United States. Drevlow began traveling internationally at age 20, expanding his horizons and chasing adventures abroad. He picked up more languages; speaking English, German, Russian, Icelandic, and Thai. Just like the jump out of a plane, Drevlow finds the most enjoyment in life on the other side of the comfort zone; noting that “…once you let go and embrace the unknown, destiny will take you wherever you’re meant to be.” He enjoys many adventurous activities; from scuba-diving WW2 shipwrecks in Africa to fire-breathing in Bavaria. 

Outside of music and travels, Drevlow enjoys learning languages, practicing piano, and keeping a daily journal. Drevlow is an Eagle Scout and GE/Reagan Presidential Scholar. In his spare time, he volunteers for the Arthritis Foundation and enjoys spending time with his family of 13.
