Brad Barbaza served as Motor City Improv's Music Director from Spring of 2001 until December of 2002. A graduate of Western Michigan University, Brad studied Video and Broadcast Production with an emphasis in Sound Recording. 

Brad originally joined the Motor City Improv family to maintain the troupe's web site but soon brought his love of music and audio recording to Motor City Improv's stage shows.  For written shows, Brad would integrate up to 60 individual recordings and sound effects recorded specifically for each show.  But his favorite contribution was during improv sets where he would bring his entire collection of songs and sound effects to the show.

Stepping down from Motor City Improv live shows in December of 2002, Brad continues to maintain and design the Motor City Improv web site and produce their videos.  Brad also lends a hand doing stage lighting for local bands Johnny Headband, The Imposters of the Deep Society and The Beggars.  On 5/5/5, Brad and his wife Jodi welcomed their son Nikolai into the world!
