Spurred by his parents, who were classical singers, as well as theatrical performers, Bradford developed first within the realm of visual art and illustration, then to vocal performance and guitar. This eventually lead to songwriting and composingmusic for film, television, and video games. In early 2015, Bradford joined forces with the producers of an MMORPG video game entitled Saga Of Lucimia as the composer of the soundtrack. On January 8, 2016, Bradford released "Elemental Evolution", the title track for his album, released on August 5, 2016.

Bradford started to write songs in 2007, while with his previous band, Certain Tragedy. In 2010, he had the opportunity to consult with award-winning artist development coach, songwriter, and A&R representative Jeff Blue (Linkin Park, et al.). Blue's critique and guidance helped Bradford to hone better songwriting techniques, song structure, and studio engineering, resulting in a better overall quality of music. Bradford subsequently joined BMI as a songwriter and officially started his solo career.
