Gifted young musician Dean Brady strikes a dazzling impression somewhere between RnB and the magic of Motown, with a nod to bass-heavy off-kilter beats. The Brisbane-born singer and songwriter’s debut song, Falling, saw him picked up as a Triple J feature artist early in 2023. Descended from the Gugu Yalanji and Birrigubba people and the Matabele Zimbabwean people, Brady has music and performance in his DNA, with both his parents being members of the Outback Motown group Banawuru. “I love that old style, the Steevies, and the Marvins, the Al Greens, the Etta James and all of them,” he told Triple J. Brady possesses an uncanny confidence and renegade boldness that comes from growing up performing Michael Jackson and exposed to a lineage of soul singers that, eventually, would all be woven into his own musical DNA.
