In 1989, Yanni was looking to replace keyboardist John Tesh in his touring band, as John was launching his own solo career. Accompanied by a recommendation from mutual friend, guitarist Dugan McNeill, Bradley recorded his first demo tape and sent it off to Yanni who hired him for his next tour, sight unseen, based solely on his compositions.
Bradley has worked with Yanni for over six years and is a featured keyboard player on the platinum billing, Yanni Live at the Acropolis CD and video. He reunited with Yanni as a featured keyboardist during the Ethnicity 2003 World Tour, performing to over 500,000 people on the world's greatest stages, including Madison Square Garden and The Hollywood Bowl. Billboard Magazine ranked it the fourth largest tour of the year.
In between Yanni tours, Bradley also joined Sheena Easton's touring band as keyboardist and co-musical director. They toured extensively throughout the United States, as well as Japan, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, and an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
These repeat performances, in-depth compositions, and vast experience with artists from RCA, Epic, Warner Brothers, and Polygram, have given him recognition as an important figure in the international music scene.
Some of Bradley's compositions and ever-popular CD, Rapture are part of Narada's line up. His release, One Deep Breath held a position in "NAV's Top 100" radio chart for over six months. Recently he was named one of the "Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans" of 2004!
Bradley owns Robbins Island Music and has produced, performed, and distributed worldwide his own compositions including 15 CDs and DVDs, and numerous piano books.
Intimate piano pieces, quartets, and full orchestrations. Recorded with the famous St. Olaf Orchestra and released on the Narada label, Rapture is a more personal glimpse into the composer. Also features world-class artists such as Charlie Adams and Charlie Bisharat.

Hey there Brad! Love the music. I just wish I had the chance also to make it too you know? What I mean is, actually do some recording. All my stuff is amateur stuff...all done at home. I guess you could say that's a start.
So anyways, love the music and my pleasure to be a music myspace buddy! =)
Dear Bradley, Thank you for the thoughtful comment you left me, and most importantly, thank you for inviting me in your friend circle, which is a great honour. I have listened to all the tracks you have uploaded here in MySpace. They resonate with my mind! I particularly liked the track titled 'Wind Farmer'. I hope you are having a wonderful day, and wish you peace and joy in your life always. Best wishes, Debargha.
