Mix the face of Brick-era Ben Folds, with the musical talent of Tim Minchin, with the stagecraft of Ross Gellar's music career and you've got Bryce Halliday.

Brody Turner, BroadwayWorld.com

Not only does he have a knack for melody and harmony, but his compositions are eclectic and driven by passionate ideas.

Ben Neutze, DailyReview.com.au

The score by Bryce Halliday does a mesmerising job supplementing the story and themes of Diagnosis. The bouncy, almost Glee-esque, choir and accompanying drum rhythm effortlessly transitions from being light and playful to anxious and foreboding.

Harry Fitsch, TheCreativeIssue.com.au

Halliday is charismatic and open with the audience, creating a captivating atmosphere for the show. His songs embrace a diverse range of sounds, from heartfelt ballads to comic, up-tempo piano numbers.
