Bryan Art was born in Murray Mount, a rural community in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica, a few miles from Nine Mile, where Reggae legend Bob Marley was born. Bryan, the youngest of 12 children, grew up in a house where most of his family members tend to make out. As a boy, Bryan imitates Ray's eldest brother, a musician and singer who has several recordings. However, it was his mother who first taught him how to play the guitar. Grant left Murray Mount in the late 1980s and moved to Kingston, Jamaica, where he lives today. In the mid-1990s, Bryan studied at The Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts.
