6 years ago today, Brian Asawa passed away. It is hard to believe that that much time has passed. I still really miss my friend. 😞 #gonetoosoon #2016sucked #2016suckedandnotinagoodway #2016wasabitch #BrianAsawa #countertenor #realmensingmezzo #gaysinger https://www.instagram.com/p/CcgrjdcLmsh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The time passes so quickly. Today marks five years since the passing of Brian Asawa. 2016 was rather relentless with taking our great artists away. I miss you, gurl. 😞💛 #BrianAsawa #countertenor #realmensingmezzo #gonetoosoon #2016sucked #2016suckedandnotinagoodway #2016wasabitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CN1NRdvsFm8/?igshid=vxknz21m81b3

Four years ago today we lost the amazing Brian Asawa. Brilliant artist. An amazing friend. Gone way too soon. 😞💛 #BrianAsawa #countertenor #realmensingmezzo #gaysinger #gonetoosoon #2016sucked #2016suckedandnotinagoodway #friend https://www.instagram.com/p/B_IIKgbJ-dN/?igshid=1ii0z8jwakkmt

It's three years today that Brian left us. I still miss him very much. 😞😢💛 Reposted from @earlharvillemuzic - Two years ago today, this glorious voice was silenced. World-renowned countertenor Brian Asawa died of heart failure. He was the first singer of this voice I had ever heard back in the early 90's. As I did research on countertenors for my Graduate Lecture/Recital, he was one of the most important names to surface repeatedly. Little did I know that we would become real friends a few years later. #brianasawa #countertenor #gonetoosoon #gaysinger #vocalathlete #Legend 😔💛 - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZ-H9CFv1G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ockq6b6g3q45

Brian Asawa working with his longtime voice teacher Jane Rudolph. Two years later..... 💙 #gonetoosoon #brianasawa #countertenor #realmensingmezzo

So, last week was a pretty heavy one. The two year mark of the deaths of both Prince and Brian Asawa. Time has flown by. It still stings. One was the reason I realized I wanted to do music seriously. The other was an influence in countertenor singing, but more importantly, had become a really great friend. An absolute sweetheart. I miss them both in a big way. It made the last few days pretty sad. But here's to keeping their beautiful contributions to music alive and well. #gonetoosoon #Prince #brianasawa #2016wasabitch 💙🎵💜😔

It was two years ago today that we lost Brian Asawa. Not only was the music world robbed of one of its premiere countertenors, but amazingly hilarious, sweet, and kindhearted man who became a dear friend. 😔💙 #gonetoosoon #brianasawa
