Music, medicine, and the sound of science.

Brian Juan was a musician first, before he became a physician.

​

He has played in a million bands you’ve probably never heard of, hauled keyboards into bars that no longer exist, and spent years making music across Colorado stages large and small. Like most musicians, he learned early that the real work isn’t the performance—it’s the persistence.

​

Eventually he tried something different: medicine.

​

After trading late-night load-outs for chemistry classes at the University of Colorado, Brian followed a path that had been quietly present all along. His father was a small-town general practitioner whose clinic lived underneath the family’s split-level house in North Jersey. Medicine, it turns out, is not easier than music—but it does offer better lighting and fewer broken guitar strings.

Today Brian is a board-certified family physician and the founder of Metronome Family Medicine, a direct primary care practice in Longmont, Colorado. His approach to medicine—thoughtful, systems-minded, and grounded in fundamentals—turns out to be remarkably similar to the way he approaches songwriting.

​

The music never really stopped. Over the years he has performed with a wide range of Colorado musicians, including time on keys with The Samples, the Otis Taylor Band, and other projects that occasionally involved robot costumes and a healthy disregard for genre boundaries.

​

These days Brian writes, records, and experiments regularly in his basement studio, where he shares frequent videos documenting the creative process—practice sessions, improvisation, songwriting fragments, and the small discoveries that happen when you sit with an instrument long enough.

​

He lives in Colorado with his family and a rotating cast of animals, continuing to balance two lifelong pursuits: practicing medicine by day and making music whenever the keyboards are plugged in.
