Brandon Reyes works as a math teacher in West Chicago as well as performing jazz vibraphone music semi-professionally in solo and small group settings. He started playing the vibraphone in the jazz band in high school because nobody else wanted to play it. He actually wanted to play the guitar but there were already two very good guitar players in the band. However, his percussion teacher showed him how to play "Feliz Navidad" on the vibraphone and he was completely enthralled with the way the chords sounded. By the time he finished college, he had bought his own vibraphone and began playing at local farmers' markets.
