Artist Bio
After graduating from Juilliard with a bachelor’s degree in Chime Performance, Brady continued his studies at the Boston Conservatory, eventually earning a Master’s in Chime Interpretation. He quickly conquered the world of classical music and developed a reputation as a bad boy. Brady angered many classical musicians with his unpredictable, dangerous and impulsive behavior. He even went so far as to challenge Lang Lang, the world famous pianist, to a duel in the thunderdome.
As quickly as Brady conquered the classical world, he left it. This gifted artist needed a new challenge and the siren song of death metal was calling. Thus, CHIME DEATH METAL was born!

Brady’s career then experienced a resurgence as younger fans began to discover his classic songs. “Chimes of Doom”, “Chimes:The Obliteration” and “Chimeapocalypse” have all become woven into the fabric of music history and each year teenagers discover the timeless and universal quality to Brady Miracle’s work. His exclusive interview on Channel 46 News further bolstered his career.
In 2015 the O’Keefe Music Foundation pleaded with Brady to record on their latest cover,”Sober” by Tool. After lengthy contract negotiations it was agreed that there would be 2 versions of “Sober”–one rendition without Brady and another entitled “The Brady Miracle Super Special Sober Edition”. One version costs a $1, the other costs $10. Why? According to Brady (who often refers to himself in the 3rd person),
Brady is currently working on his next magnum opus entitled “Chainsaw & Chimes”. Fans can hear an excerpt below:
