Today marks the release of Brodie’s debut record In a Room, a collection of 11 self-written, performed and produced tracks.

Along with his Australia Day honour, Brodie was accepted into the highly-regarded Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts on the back of an incredible 95.95 tertiary entrance ranking result.

The 17-year-old took it all in his stride however and said he was pleased with his debut release.

“It’s a taste of the different genres I’m involved with,” he said.

“There are a few acoustic tracks, pop, rock and electric too.”

The classically trained musician has mastered a number of instruments and played each sound on the album as well as vocals.

The musical maestro said he was restricted to only play one track at his album launch last Friday due to technical constraints.

“It’s kind of difficult to play tracks off the album when you play all of the instruments,” he laughed.

“I like the opportunity to do everything my self.”

More than 100 people turned out to celebrate the milestone release of the teen who aspires to become a musical director similar to John Foreman of Australian Idol fame.

Created in his own home studio, Brodie said his debut effort had received a good response and thanked his family, friends and Vibrations Music Centre for their support.
