"Abbe Bradbury is a wife, mother, business owner, dreamer, boss babe — the list does in fact go on, believe it or not. Abbe Bradbury had an extensive performing career in the entertainment industry before returning home to the Gold Coast from Sydney to set up Dynamite Studios at the age of twenty-one, a one of its kind Performing Arts Academy that offers a broad range of exciting opportunities for over 900 students. Abbe’s passion, dedication, and commitment to excellence in the Performing Arts Industry is as strong today as it was when it began in 2007 and most certainly contributed to the powerhouse Dynamite Studios has become.
Over ten years later, She is now the owner of six major businesses. Her love for what she does and her persistence has been the foundation of this empire which she is so proud to call her own. These businesses are Dynamite Studios, Evolution, Unfold and Emerge agencies, Living Your Best Life, Vocal Development Program, Dynamite Studios Creative and the Creatif House arts incubator. Working with the next generation of artists, and being able to create and provide them with opportunities to express themselves and to work within this industry inspires Abbe to no end. The hundreds working within this industry, the thousands she has been able to connect with, this is what inspires her. Dreams that unravel to become realities — that is her vision."
