A respected Australian singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and music producer, Brendan writes and performs his own music and continues to tour with a who’s who of the country’s leading artists. He has played on countless award-winning recordings and has received multiple awards and award nominations over many years. Brendan was a Golden Guitar winner at the 2025 Country Music Awards of Australia (CMAA) for Instrumental of the Year and has been nominated across many categories in previous years.

Makirum and Shardyn Fahey-Leigh have clocked up twelve Tamworth Country
Music Festivals. At their first, aged just 11 and 13 years old, Mak was so small that
he could barely hold a guitar, but that didn’t stop the crowd going wild.
Yep, there aren’t many kids who could tour arenas with Hugh Jackman in The Boy
from Oz, like Shar, who’s the oldest brother at 28. Even the youngest, Mak – now
26 – found fame as the kid with the bowl cut in the Macca’s ads, before
progressing to film, TV and stage roles like his siblings. Mak also joined Shar in the
musical Quambadook, about the life of country star John Williamson, and it was
this experience that sealed the brothers’ love of country music, spurring them to
release four independent albums before they’d even hit our screens on The
XFactor.
Their harmonious take on country-pop was the surprise hit of the sixth season.
Their former band Brothers 3 auditioned with a daring cover of ‘Safe & Sound’ by
Taylor Swift and were voted in by all four judges – Redfoo, Ronan Keating, Natalie
Bassingthwaighte and their eventual mentor, Dannii Minogue – before battling on
to the grand final in 2014. After an exhilarating battle, Brothers3 placed third. Free
from the schedule of TV, they hit the road, touring extensively with “The Lucky
One’s Tour” before they inked a record deal with Warner Music Australia.
Following their country hit Brothers Never Part, Brothers3 continued their
trailblazing work reshaping Australian modern country music with the release of
their studio album (of the same name) Brothers Never Part on January 15, 2016.
The album placed at #11 on the Aria Charts, as well as #1 on the Country Charts
and #2 on the Australian Charts. Brothers3 also announced the ‘Brothers Never
Part’ east coast 32 date tour that kicked off in March, of the same year.
In 2022 Makirum and Shardyn relaunched as Country/Pop duo Mak & Shar,
releasing their first single as a duo “Kill Me Softly”. Reaching the semi-finals of the
International Songwriting Competition, the single was written by Shar about the
trials and tribulations of a rocky relationship where lyrics such as ‘unconditional in
superficial kinds of art’ explore a devotion against better judgement, to a fake
friend and lover. The duo released their first (self-titled) EP a year later in 2023
which was written and recorded in their hometown of Mudgee at the boy’s home
studio.
The sibling duo then headed to the Tamworth Country Music Festival where they
shot the video clip, and released their first single of 2024 ‘Leap Of Faith’. Playing to
thousands of their supporters new and old, the 2024 festival cemented the boy’s
love of the Australian country music scene once more and they headed off on Mak
& Shar’s first tour simply titled ‘Leap Of Faith Tour’.
Mak & Shar’s latest single (Best Thing) shows off to the world effortless harmonies
and skilful musicianship with a connection and mateship that only two brothers
can have. Seasoned songwriters and performers, these Australian brothers are
looking forward to taking the country by storm and show no signs of slowing
down

artist. Produced by the talented duo Michael and Caleb Flanders in the heart
