Brislin formed his first bands with childhood friends at the age of 10 and knew from an early age that he wanted to be a professional musician. In December 2018, he joined the American progressive rock band Kansas as their keyboardist, contributing his playing, vocals, and songwriting to their most recent studio album, The Absence of Presence (2020).
