Brady began performing as an actor at age 12 with Australian television and film appearances in ‘Water Rats’, ‘All Saints’ and ‘Oyster Farmer’. As he sought to add more strings to his bow, he took up dance, delving into Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Lyrical/Contemporary and Acrobatic styles of competitive dancing.

He has performed across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Central America, Canada & the US in some of the largest venues and cruise ships on the planet. In 2012 he toured three continents in Dreamworks' 'How To Train Your Dragon: Live Spectacular' as an original cast member and has since performed for identities such as Stephen Spielberg, Jonsi, James Marsden, America Ferrera, Heidi Klum, and Tim Minchin.
 

Branching into professional musical theatre he has toured internationally in Opera Australia's ‘West Side Story’ as well as nationally in Darlinghurst Theatre Company’s ‘A Chorus Line’, Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast the Musical'', and is currently performing with Eddie Perfect in 'Beetlejuice the Musical'. The Sydney Morning Herald has reviewed his work as "expert performances."
 

As an award-winning choreographer, Brady launched The Blackguard in 2016, a Contemporary/KRUMP dance company, producing original works such as ‘Passion May Yet Be Fatal’ (2016) and ‘Still Breathing’ (2018). As Brady’s development of works continues, he boasts 14 years of teaching elite level acrobatics and contemporary dance, specializing in contact improvisation and movement coaching for actors. 
 

Brady is a proud member of Media Entertainment Arts Alliance.
