Janeen Jacobs Brady is an American composer, lyricist, and publisher of children’s music, patriotic songs, educational music, and religious songs and hymns. She has also authored cantatas, musical comedies, musical dramas, and road shows. She and her husband, Ted Brady, founded Brite Music, Inc. She has composed and produced over 40 full-length albums and her songs have sold over 6 million copies. Since 2015, Janeen has lived in the Sanpete Valley.

Brady is the author of numerous Brite Music published children’s music and books, including “The Safety Kids,” “Watch Me Sing,” “I Have a Song For You,” and “Sing, Read and Write.” Although Brady is well known for her “Brite Music” series, the Easter Cantata is a sacred work that completely departs from those lighter works.

In 1983, she was invited to the White House by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Mrs. Reagan for a performance of her song, “The Great American Family.”

Brady’s song “I Lived in Heaven” is in the Children’s Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and can be found and listened to by visiting the church website at: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/music/library/childrens-songbook?lang=eng. Another one of her widely sung songs is “I Want to Be A Mother,” from her collection, “Songs for a Mormon Child.”
