About

I began my career as a professional trumpeter and conductor, earning an undergraduate degree from Kingston University before completing a Master’s in Music Performance, Analysis, and Composition. Over more than twenty years as a performing musician, conductor, and bandleader, I developed a deep understanding of how music functions at a professional level — from the pit to the podium.
That experience led naturally into theatre production, where I built a reputation as a musical fixer, arranger, director, and producer. Over the past decade I have written, produced, and toured original work to venues including the Cairo Opera House and the London Palladium, and served as Musical Director for West End and recording artist Darius Campbell.
As Founder and Creative Director of Barisons Theatre Productions Ltd, I have spent the last several years focusing increasingly on original composition for screen and stage. My compositional credits include Bruce Lee the Musical, Gangster Granny (a children’s musical), and The Witcher’s Tale (gothic rock opera), and I am currently composing Breakdance the Musical. I am also scoring AZADEH — A Musical Film and developing music for a new S4C’s Day Dreamer Dai pitch. I bring broadcast-standard production skills, a strong instinct for musical identity, and twenty years of experience collaborating under pressure with directors and production teams who have exacting creative visions.

Jun Fan – The Bruce Lee Musical brings to the stage for the first time the magic of the iconic 1970’s martial arts phenomenon and the first real action hero.

Fast-paced and action-packed, the show is based on the life of Bruce Lee and opens as the young Bruce Lee sails into the Seattle docks. From the beginning, you see the spirit that sets our young star apart from the rest of the Chinese, who are seeking a better life in America.

The musical takes us through the hardships Lee faced, along with the strength and determination he held onto with support from his wife Linda. You’ll experience his struggle to freely teach his passion, his personal challenge to bring his own philosophy to the world.

By becoming the first international Chinese action hero, Bruce gave hope to the Chinese population. His movie creations brought his voice to the world and everyone listened. Even Hollywood stopped to witness Bruce’s energy – a natural magnetism that captured the attention of the entire world.

Jun Fan – The Bruce Lee Musical lets you relive the excitement of the legend that was Bruce Lee.
