Biography
Darryl Eugene Brady is the first child of Patricia G. Brady born on May 4, 1978 with a gift of musical talents taken after his grandfather William T. Brady. At the age of 4 is when Darryl first started playing the piano, he has no teachers, nor even books to study the theories of music around that time. (Well, things aren't what they seem when it comes to being a dedicated musician. In most cases, it is difficult to write a specific piece if you're not a writer at heart.) Around the age of 12 is when Darryl started to become a writer when he got his first keyboard. During that time, he has many classical music influences, for example: J.S.Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and a few in which Darryl has yet to accomplish. One year later, Darryl has joined the Medina Middle School (Columbus, Ohio USA) where he first joined the Mixed Chorus not only to just play the piano, but to self-read sheet music while singing. That time is when Darryl's piano playing has improved. He then started to listen to all kinds of music in which may even annoy his friends' taste in music in order to study each genre, other musical influences add up to Darryl's liking, these influences are Phil Collins, Prince, Michael Jackson, Zapp & Roger, Salt N' Peppa, Portrait, Aerosmith, Sting, Madonna, Cher, Cindy Lauper, Michael Bolton, Kenny G, & Joe Sample. Before Darryl's 18th birthday in 1996, he has started to join a few recording studios in Cleveland, Ohio where he first recorded his song that Darryl and his late cousin Brian Brady wrote "When the Moon Shines" at his friend Melvin Doster's home studio. The song was first copyrighted and then published on June 24, 1998. Darryl then joined Marko Productions Recording Studio to work along side with Mark Hockett on June 27, 1998 where Darryl began to helped Mark with his CD release "Marko: Promise I Always Love You.

Darryl joined ACIDplanet on June 9, 2004 to share his music with the world by submitting a few songs to them and everyone was pleased to hear his work because his music is so different to the ears, yet some of his music has a few similarities to catch on. When Darryl is not writing his music, he spends time reading, doing sports activities, traveling, playing video games, sleeping, watching or going to the movies, studying with exchang partners, watching Anime (Japanese animation), helping out family and friends who are in need.
