Craft Music Agency is the exclusive booking agent for Brendan Maclean.
Brendan Maclean is an award winning singer-songwriter and beloved star of the stage and

With nothing but a handful of demos to his name, Maclean was cast alongside Marcia Hines
in the smash hit cabaret Velvet in 2013 which toured for three years locally and abroad. He
then made his film debut as Klipspringer in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and released
his first single Stupid (8,000,000+ streams) quickly being snapped up as a songwriter by
Universal Publishing. Maclean has since gone on to release five EP’s and two original ARIA
charting albums.
More recently Brendan had a superstar run as the titular roles in Jekyll & Hyde The Musical
and enjoyed a break-out part opposite Hugo Weaving as a prison-kitchen-hand in the feature
film How To Make Gravy winning him his first AACTA award.
Brendan has collaborated with a myriad of impressive acts including Kate Miller-Heidke,
Alan Cumming, Meg Washington, Paul Mac and Hot Dub Time Machine playing prestigious
venues such as The Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, The Sidney Myer Music Bowl, The
Hordern and taking his own works to New York’s Joe’s Pub and The Lincoln Centre.
Brendan has been invited to light up private events from Monaco, Lake Como, Hawaii and
Bangkok for luxury brands like BLVGARI, Tiffany’s and Belvedere. Having presented at triple
j for six years Maclean continues his work as an MC most notably for Australia’s most
