Piano/Bass/Strings by Musial THE MAKING OF "FRIENDS LIKE YOU"… Wow, where do we start? Hi, my name is David Musial. I met Brady a the Audio Engineering Convention in NYC in October 2007. I have never met ANY musical artist with as much energy and giftedness in my 50 years of musical magic. Brady is not a classically trained musician. Brady is simply a "natural". His family are kind and generous, but simply let Brady be Brady. Most (if not all people) who are blessed with the opportunity to meet Brady, walk away with an aura that says, "how is he so optimistic?" Brady's music is eclectic, be it on stage in Disney, in NYC-Broadway, in California, Buffalo, Prince Edward Island, Washington… wherever. Brady is Brady… he is warm, charming, bombastic and compassionate. "Friends Like You" started with me thinking, what new songs can Brady think about listening to and maybe recording? The first thought was "Friends Like You". This is an AMAZING ballad by the brilliant… Martin Barrett from Canada, near Toronto. Martin was the first musical artist I ever produced and coincidentally Brady is also from Canada. It happened! Martin played the guitars, recorded them in his studio in Canada and then emailed the tracks to me in NYC… imagine that? Brady gave an amazing performance to this kind song about appreciating your friends. Enjoy as your Heart is surrounded with hugs! FREEDOM… the greatest gift in the world. This song was composed by my dear friend Frank Serafine, who heard Brady sing and then ORDERED me to "SIGN HIM". (This means become his musical producer and bring his gift to the world… I did! Thank you Frank!) When Frank is not riding motorcycles in the beautiful mountains in California, he is making music and sound design for movies like Star Trek, Tron, Space Balls, Bay Watch and much more. Frank created the beautiful music track to "Freedom". Brady thanked him by gracing it with equally beautiful lyrics. Thanks Frank! The Beyonce Medley. This speaks for itself. Brady just jammed on his guitar one day. "Let Me Tell Ya"… and I will… just listen! "Make It With You" is a beautiful classic fro the '70s megastar group "Bread" "Reflection" is Brady searching his thoughts. He left his Mom, Dad and Brother and country and came to America. He reflected and America has been awesome for Brady. "Suspended C"… too personal. He lost a loved one. "Ocean Avenue" is about sailors who go off to sea and defend Canada and America, and some never return! It is the first song for ProjectEleven.org. The live version was on 5/26/12 on a major United States Ship in NYC and broadcast live on SIRIOUS XM Radio the USS WASP. Very Intense. The video is on the ProjectEleven.org site "The Sun Will Shine" is about he sadness of bullies. PERIOD. BRADY® was born in the beautiful vicinity of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, in Canada as "James BRADY Cudmore". He spent his early years listening as much as possible to the radio (mostly American/British stations but also plenty of Canadian music), playing the drums, singing and fishing with his dad Timmy, who jams on the electric guitar. His mom Faye got him all kinds of music to study. Brady became interested in acting in his high school years at "Bluefield" in Hampshire. He worked several part-time jobs to help get though life in a community surrounded by potato fields and mussel farms... P.E.I. In 2007 his high school sent a small group of the most talented performers to NYC for a "senior trip". Brady's life changed! Brady introduced himself to David Musial and insisted that he “sings” for him at an Audio Engineering Convention. Musial (a multi-platinum, Emmy award winning music & media producer as well as an awarded professor in Media Technology), signed Brady an artist development deal to his company One World Artists Management. (Musial actually said "No" 3 times, but his associates said... "Sign Him!" In one day Brady wrote the song "DREAM IT", recorded demo with a friend on a Mac Laptop, emailed it to Smart Trax Media… and he was offered his first recording contract. When he turned 18 he came to NYC, and the mecum video for "Dream It" was made. Doors were opened and Brady simply and HUMBLY showed the world his talent. This is where all of the producers came from, the viewing of "Dream It" on his website and YouTube. Moog Music kindly provided the use of a "Littly Phatty" analog synth which was used for the lush bass lines and solo lines. Brady has already performed for thousands in Canada and many places in the United States. Western New York State, has been labeled a “Teen Idol” in newspapers, has been interviewed on ABC TV, CBC TV, KISS 98 FM, SIRIUS XM National Radio, and dozens of newspapers, performed in numerous schools, roller rinks, street fairs, raceways for 10,000, in DISNEY, on Aircraft Carriers, even in he Pentagon. Brady is now is starring in “Honestly Abe” an off-Broadway Musical about “President Abraham Lincoln” AND is the #1 performer (according to New York Magazine) at the newest nightclub for MUSIC on Broadway, in New York City... JELSOMINO. How did he do this? Persistence with a fact that he has natural born talent and humbleness. Brady now has 10 record producers (who volunteered to help him succeed) not only in NYC, but Toronto, Miami, Europe and Hollywood. Frank Serafine, a very well know Hollywood Sound Designer (Star Trek, BayWatch, Tron) ordered his manager, David Musial, to sign Brady and he wrote a song for him. Steve Clark is multi-platinum in Europe and has been a DJ and most of the famous clubs in America and Europe. Brady earned a vary rare United States Performance Arts VISA because of all of the volunteer shows he gave in schools, roller rinks and official venues like the U.S. DEA Headquarters, shows for DARE International in Disney and in the Hall of Heroes in the Pentagon. He even did a TV Commercial demo for Doritos for the Super Bowl called the "Chip Squad"!

Brady has composed dozens of unique songs, plays piano, guitar and drums. He studied guitar with Carlos Alomar who performed with David Bowie for many years.
