Brodie Stewart is an award-winning pianist/keyboardist, composer, musical director, and audio engineer based in Perth, Western Australia. Brodie is at the forefront of the jazz and contemporary music scenes, where his forward-thinking musicianship has resulted in him being in high demand by national and international artists.
In 2020, Brodie toured nationally with Australian 90’s pop sensation, Human Nature. Recently, he has performed with Kav Temperley (Eskimo Joe), Katy Steele (Little Birdy), and Reigan Derry with Ministry of Sound Classical.
Brodie has also performed and worked with Tim Minchin, Melonie Daniels (Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson), Fatai, Prinnie Stevens, Normie Rowe, Claudio, Bloom, Savage, Troy Roberts, Vince Jones, Perth Symphony Orchestra, and Dr. Jonathon Welch. Over the years, he has shared the stage with Dami Im, James Reyne, Mark Seymour, John Paul Young, Nathaniel, Daniel Gassin, and The Three Chinese Tenors. He has also been approached by the likes of Eskimo Joe, Casey Donovan and 1927 to perform with them throughout Australia.
A recipient of the “Channel 7 Award for Jazz” and a graduate with First Class Honours in Jazz Performance of the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), Brodie now lectures at WAAPA in the Contemporary Music course.
Brodie has been performing with his trio - consisting of Alistair Peel on double bass, and Daniel Harrison on drums - since 2014. With an upcoming album in the pipeline, Brodie’s strong compositional signature draws from a kaleidoscope of influences, ranging from modern jazz and classical, through to R&B, folk and pop. His music has seen performances throughout Australia, America, and Europe.
Although primarily a pianist, Brodie is equally comfortable behind a keyboard rig, fluent in complex sound design and synth programming. Additionally, you will often find him in the role of a bassist; either on electric bass (Brodie’s second instrument), or key bass (allowing him to combine the musicality and touch of an electric bassist with the facility and dexterity of a keyboardist).
Brodie's extensive and impressive skill set as a musician regularly lands him in the position of Musical Director in many of the bands and acts he performs with. MD'ing his first ever musical at age 15, his ability to sight read, play multiple instruments, transcribe and write note-accurate charts, as well as his advanced technological and programming skills allow him to get the most out of any group.
When Brodie is not on the stage, he is working hard engineering, mixing and mastering from his personal professional recording studio. His client list is extensive, and he has an impressive acquisition of some of the finest gear. This is rather a testament to his incredible attention to detail, and extremely musical approach throughout the entire creative process.
