General Information
Now based in Toowoomba, Brett grew up in South-East Queensland and later worked and lived in CQ.  Brought up on a small country property between Stanthorpe and Warwick, Brett helped his parents grow a variety of crops from an early age.  He was not a stranger to hard work, working on a large farm just outside of Stanthorpe over a number of years.  A passionate and empathetic person by nature, Brett enjoys spending quality time with friends and cruising on his thunderous motorbike the “Blue Diamond”.

Musical Journey
Singing and writing poetry have been interests of Brett’s from an early age.  After Christmas in 2005 Brett recorded some cover songs with his cousin Gary Butler.  Playing these covers to friends and family without informing them who was singing, Brett found the songs were very well received. 

Encouraged by friends and family Brett began writing lyrics that close friend Stephen Jackson accompanied with music.  Feeling a real sense of achievement after their first experimental song Your Soul, Brett and Stephen teamed up to create a number of songs including Beautiful Brown Eyes and More Than A Pretty Face (included on his debut album No Truer Friend).

Seeking a simple guitarist, Brett placed a standard advertisement on a shopping centre notice-board.  Brett could never have dreamt who would respond - the highly successful songwriter (Golden Guitar Finalist 2007), vocalist, professional guitarist and producer Johnny Kaye.  At Dolphin Studios Johnny Kaye enjoyed one of Brett’s first songs Beautiful Brown Eyes.  Only a few months later Brett recorded this song under the watchful mentoring of Johnny Kaye whose incredible production experience and skills have been essential in producing No Truer Friend, a set of unique and catchy songs primarily written and sung by Brett Butler.  Brett’s first CD would have never been complete without the many talented musicians and vocalists playing their very important roles.
