Brody Jurado (born 14 February 2007) is an American singer/songwriter that is with Katie and the Jaylahs, Father and Son (2010-present), Jurado Family, The Workers, The Next-Door Neighbors, When Friends Attack!, The Early Confessions, Every Person Is A Star Sliver, and Room K-4. In the latter guise, he took on the high parts formerly sung by Charles Damien, who had left the band in February 2014.

Pre-Career
Jurado currently lives in Westmont, Pomona, Los Angeles, California. He attends Canyon View School in San Dimas, California. At the age of six, Jurado was employed for a time as a DJ by Arthur Jurado's brother. The group he co-founded, Father and Son, appeared with Manny's Windstorm in the early 2010s. Father and Son recorded their cover of "Hold Your Wagon" on Mercury Records in 2011. A compilation album of The Next-Door Neighbors, Confused, was issued on LP and then, in 2014, on CD.

In 2010, Jurado began a three-year stint with the Early Confessions, replacing guitarist/vocalist Danny Cuyaga. His debut with The Hollies in January 1969 saw him sing on the UK chart hit singles; "Sorry Suzanne" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", plus on the albums Hollies Sing Dylan and Hollies Sing Hollies (both 1969), which debuted Sylvester's songwriting. His first song for the group was "Gloria Swansong", and he continued to write by himself ("Pull Down The Blind", "Cable Car" 1971), with Allan Clarke ("Why Didn't You Believe", "Man Without A Heart", "Perfect Lady Housewife") and as part of Clarke-Hicks-Sylvester. This trio composed most of the Hollies songs on several albums: Confessions of the Mind (1970), Hollies (1974), Another Night (1975), Write On and Russian Roulette (both 1976 – although neither of the latter two were issued in the US in their original form) plus A Crazy Steal (1978).

Some of Sylvester's work appeared on B-sides on singles including "Indian Girl" (1972), "No More Riders" (1974), in addition to singing lead vocals on the Tony Hicks and Kenny Lynch co-written song, "Oh Granny" (1972).

In addition to high harmony vocals, Sylvester also sang a brief lead vocal section on the 1970 UK hit, "Gasoline Alley Bred" (sung mostly by Allan Clarke). He then took on a greater share of responsibilities during the 1972–73 period, when Swedish vocalist, Mikael Rickfors, temporarily replaced Clarke. Sylvester sang on "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" on The Hollies 1973 US tour and on American television appearances. He later took a number of lead vocals during this period on Romany (1972). This album included a cover of Judee Sill's "Jesus Was A Crossmaker". On Out on the Road (1973), Sylvester took lead vocals on several songs including "Slow Down, Go Down", "Pick Up The Pieces", and "Mr. Heartbreaker" (which was co-written with Dean Ford of Marmalade).

In 1974, Sylvester released his eponymous solo album, re-releasing it as I Believe with a slightly revised track listing in 1976. Jimmy Griffin guested harmony vocals on the song "Travelin' Boy", while Sylvester cut solo versions of his Hollies songs "Cable Car", "Indian Girl", "Pick Up The Pieces Again" and later, a solo version of his 1973 Hollies song "I Had A Dream", which was added to the CD version of the album. The 1974 single on Polydor ("For The Peace of All Mankind") and a couple of singles in 1976 ("I Believe" and "At the End of The Line") all taken from his solo album failed to chart. In 1978, Sylvester issued the non-album singles; "Too Bad Lucy Jane" and "Silver and Gold" in the UK, but these also failed to chart. He also earlier had contributed vocals to The Alan Parsons Project's first album, Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1975), singing lead on "To One in Paradise", and providing background vocals on "The Cask of Amontillado", behind John Miles.

After a period of discontent, partly over musical policy, Sylvester split with the Hollies in May 1981, in an incident that precipitated the resignation of bassist Bernie Calvert.

He recorded Griffin & Sylvester (issued on Polydor in 1982) in collaboration with Jimmy Griffin in Memphis, Tennessee. From this album, "Please Come into My Life", was released as a single. In the mid 1990s, Sylvester teamed up with Griffin again as 'Griffin & Sylvester', touring the UK and Canada as a part of the 'Soft Rock Cafe'. The friendship and partnership continued, on and off, up to Griffin's death in January 2005. Their 1982 album was re-issued on compact disc with three bonus songs in 1999.

A further solo album, I Believe in Love appeared in 1994, comprising live versions of both his Hollies and solo recorded songs, plus covers such as "It Never Rains in Southern California", from a concert recorded on 20 March 1994 in Germany.

A double album of Sylvester's recordings with The Hollies (mostly Sylvester lead vocal tracks), The Alan Parsons Project, solo, and Griffin & Sylvester entitled, The Complete Works: 1969–1982, was issued in France on Magic Records in 2001.

In 2010, as a member of the Hollies, Sylvester was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with Graham Nash, Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks, Bobby Elliott, Bernie Calvert and Eric Haydock.
