One of the upcoming, exemplary and reserved musical stars, in Anguilla is 15-year-old Cheidyn Bryan, son of proud parents, Mrs. Gele Bryan and Dr. Clyde Bryan.
The youngster, of a very serious personality, is the musician at Sovereign Grace Baptist Church at George Hill. His early drumming began there at the age of 2. By 4, when The Anguillian met him at the church, he had not only become much more proficient than a little drummer, but an impressive player of other instruments as well.
He started out playing by ear but later began learning to play from music books. Now at 15, in Fourth Form at the Albena Lake-Hodge Comprehensive School, Cheidyn is taking music as a CXC subject. By all accounts, with his flair and obvious love for music, he is expected to do very well and to be numbered among the young talented musicians in Anguilla.
He was not on the drums for Radio Anguilla’s 50th Anniversary Service on Sunday, April 7. Instead, he was throwing his hands and fingers across the piano keyboard at the opposite end of the corner of his drumming equipment.
The mastery, rhythm and beauty of his playing not only greatly enhanced the singing of the praise group, but the congregation as well and, ever so often, attracted the eyes of everyone.
Next time, at the church, young Cheidyn may be playing a saxophone, guitar, or some other type of the twelve instruments is he skilled at.
