Dean Brady

Dean Brady is First Nations Australian and African, descending from the Gugu Yalanji and Birrigubba peoples as well as the Matabele of Zimbabwe. Dean was born into a deeply musical household; his parents were members of the legendary “outback Motown” group Banawurun, and he grew up surrounded by sound — band rehearsals in the living room, his mother singing soul classics while cooking dinner.

As a child, Brady would perform Michael Jackson songs for friends and family, already drawn to the lineage of great soul and R&B artists. From Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye to Frank Sinatra and Usher, these influences would shape the distinctive voice and style he now brings to his own music.

**_Dean’s Home_**, Brady’s forthcoming mixtape out 31 October, is a warm, groove-soaked reflection on love, memory and identity, stitched together by the rising star’s unmistakable voice and soulful instincts. Across twelve tracks, Brady charts a coming-of-age journey, from the thrill of first love to the clarity of knowing when to let go. With a sound that nods to the Motown greats he grew up idolising, Dean Brady is carving out a fresh, forward-looking space in Australian R&B.
