Training at Berklee College of Music, Ward is also a songwriter, guitarist and producer. He plays in his own bands, and writes/records original music!
Ward's original songs are a combination of different genres ranging from Rock to Pop to Folk. Lyrically and musically his work follows his growth, insight and experiences as he has moved around the country.
A Spanish nylon string guitar and trumpets to reflect the Cuban influence of Miami; and a distorted surf guitar and driving drums creates the feel of summer days at the beach in San Diego. Ward credits as his music influences Sting, Coldplay, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, System of a Down, Incubus, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles.
Influenced by his father’s large collection of eclectic artists on vinyl and cassettes, Ward began singing at the age of 10 and booking roles in theater productions in both New York and Southern California. At age 13, Ward began playing the guitar and started writing his own music, which led to him starting a band in high school that performed music he had written. They eventually started playing larger venues, including the House of Blues, in his hometown of San Diego. Ward went on to attend the University of Miami and Berklee College of Music to study music and theater.
Ian is currently in Los Angeles, pursuing a career in music and theater and working with Canadian Rock Artist Ro Sardana to develop and launch Mutual Street Music Group, a label dedicated to representing Ian and Ro’s original music, along with other artists.
In Fall 2022, Ian and Ro will be performing showcases in Los Angeles, New York and Toronto, with guidance and mentorship from the legendary and revered Ron Alexenburg.

When Ian Ward stepped into the role of “Romeo”, the youthful performer had big shoes to fill. James Byous, LJ Benet and Myles Nuzzi had all been stunning as the ill-fated lover, yet Ian (full name Ian Ward Brininstool) managed to make his own indelible impression. His powerful, heartfelt performance of Elton John’s “Your Song” elicited cheers from the audience…and the tragic “Love Is Blindness” (below) could cause you to erupt into sobs.
