I'm Brad Bellard, a pianist, composer and producer with a lifelong love of music. I started piano at age 5, was recognized as a child prodigy with perfect pitch, and have been composing and improvising since I was 8. I self-produced my first album at 13 and have been making music independently ever since. I'm an autodidact at improvising and composing on the piano, and while contemporary jazz, funk and neo-soul are my main loves, I bring versatility across many genres. Currently studying a Bachelor of Music, I performed regularly with my high school's Legends Big Band, the Jazz Quartet, and contribute to orchestra and choir performances. I toured Europe in 2019 with Westbourne Grammar School as the main pianist for their performances, and I continue gigging with various bands and collaborators across pop, rock, jazz and big band. I’m passionate about producing music and helping others learn and grow.
