Mike Brady

Mike Brady AM is one of Australia’s most acclaimed and enduring entertainers.

Whether solo or with his band, he has been wowing audiences both young and old with his songs and stories for decades.

From the heady days of the 60’s with his band MPD LTD and their enormous #1 smash hit ‘Little Boy Sad’, through to his time in Vietnam entertaining US forces, followed by solo hits like ‘Sympathy’ and of course the sporting anthems which have become part of the Aussie football language. ‘Up There Cazaly’ was the biggest ever Australian hit at that time and ‘One Day in September’ was hugely successful.

But there is a lot more to Mike than sporting anthems.

He is the writer of some of Australia’s most catchy advertising jingles for radio and television and his huge success in this area is evidenced by many of his music tracks which are still on television and radio today. He has remained relevant for generations.

As a speaker and performer, Mike’s solo presentations combine humour and music in an entertaining way to illustrate what has been a lifetime jam-packed with highs and lows but with very little down time.

He takes the audience on an emotional musical journey through his music and stories, performing his hit songs described by many as “beyond our expectations”.

Mike continues with his public speaking engagements and live performances both solo and with his bands, ‘The Mike Brady Band’ and ‘Greenspot’.

In June 2013 Mike was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for services to the community and to music as a composer and performer.

On Monday 3rd July 2017 Mike was honored to be named Victorian of the Year in a ceremony in the Melbourne Town Hall.

And on 7^th November 2019 Mike was both thrilled but humbled when ‘Up There Cazaly’ was inducted into the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia 2019 Sounds of Australia registry.
