Brian Daly has been writing music since he was eight years old. Over the past 25 years he has been mainly working in the field of advertising, creating BrandSongs and Soundtracks for Television Commercials and Corporate Communications for some of Australia’s best-known brands.
His credits include works for Australia Post, Wesfarmers, NIB Health Funds, Telstra Countrywide, RSPCA Australia, NSW Government, NSW Police, TAFE and Animals Asia. He also composed the title track for the indie feature film, Mikey’s Extreme Romance, that took out the Kickass Filmmaker’s Award at the LA Comedy Festival 2011.
In addition to his screen music work, Brian has composed Choral and Orchestral works, and is also an award-winning Songwriter, Writer, Director and Creative Director. He has several cuts on Mark Wells’ ‘The Long Walk Home’ and ‘Playing with Fire’ releases and wrote and produced the majority of Sue Carson’s debut album ‘Coming to Get You’. His choral work, ‘On a Newcastle Morning’, originally commissioned for the Waratah Girls Choir, is now regularly performed by The Hunter Singers.
Brian holds a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Music Major) from the University of Wollongong.
