Mike Brady was born in England and moved with his family to Australia when he was 11 years old. His recording career began in the mid 60’s with the formation of MPD Ltd (Mike, Pete & Danny). MPD Ltd went on to become one of Australia’s most successful pop groups of the 60’s with hits such as “Little Boy Sad”. The group toured overseas, including England and Mike toured extensively throughout Vietnam during the war. When MPD Ltd disbanded, he continued to record the occasional solo single, one such single being the hit “Sympathy” which reached the National top 10.
After MPD Ltd, Mike spent the majority of his time building his career as producer and writer of jingles for Television and Radio. One such jingle brought Mike back into the public spotlight. He was asked to record a promotional song for Channel Seven’s Football program. This song being “Up There Cazaly” went on to be the biggest selling local single of its time, with sales in excess of 250,000 and has become the unofficial Anthem of all Australian Rules Football Fans.
His song “One Day In September” has become part of the Football language. He also co-wrote and produced Greg Champions huge hit “That’s What I Like About Football.
