IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW...
A Composer since his early teens, Grammy winning producer and recording engineer Brad Sayles has come to fulfill his promise by displaying his talents on many different sides of the medium of music; both creating music and recording it.
His work on the independent films Echoes of Innocence and The Bracelet of Bordeaux have brought scores of both haunting beauty and uproarious fun to the movie theater, while his energetic score for the Houston Public Television special Art is All Around Us was nominated in 2006 for an Emmy. He is also the 2003 & 2006 first laureate of the Louisa Stude Sarofim Composition Competition for his chamber suite New England Journey and The Lilly respectively.
The Houston Symphony Orchestra continuously relies on Brad's exceptional ear and technical knowledge to present its broadcasts and to produce its most recent recordings.
Brad is equally at home editing sound for film, prompting Academy Award nominated sound editor Allen Robert Murray to hail Brad’s expertise as “incredible” for his work on the movie Space Cowboys.
He received his Masters in Music Composition from the University of Houston studying with Robert Nelson, and his Bachelors of Arts in Telecommunication from Michigan State University .
