Rory Brady

Rory Brady has been with Artist Guitars for 8 years, beginning as a sales and customer service assistant in February 2017, before becoming the Manager here at Artist Guitars HQ.

Born and raised in the Inner West, Rory inherited a love of music from his father, which put him onto the idea of learning to play at a young age. He began on the drums at 8 years of age, before switching to guitar a couple of years later!

A normal day with Rory in control of the office playlist sees us listening to all the greats! His first musical obsession was AC/DC, before moving through all genres from there, particularly classic funk, disco, and Motown. 

Outside of the office, Rory pursues his musical career by playing regularly with a couple of bands, Pro Uno and The Regime, a career that his seen him grace some of Australia's biggest stages, including Splendour in the Grass. Rory is influenced by all the great musicians out there, but in the early stages of his musical endeavours, his hero was guitar legend Angus Young of AC/DC.

When we asked Rory why he liked working with us, he answered: "I've always worked in guitar shops and Artist Guitars is by far the most organised of any of the businesses I've worked at. It's cool to be working around guitars and to be learning about business at the same time. And the boss Ian has always been very accommodating of any touring or other musical commitments I had, which is a great perk."
