Big congrats today to Cork singer of soul Brian Deady who this morning signed a major label record deal with Universal / Decca Records in the UK.
It just shows that it can take a long time to break through to a different tier if you’re a musician. Brian Deady has been playing soul and R&B for a number of years and last December, I had the pleasure of debuting his latest album Non-Fiction.
