Biography
“There has to be more to life than being another brick in the proverbial 9 to 5 wall,” exclaimed Brad several years ago. “Life just must be more than following fads, compressing people into labels, and keeping up with the Joneses. I deeply sense it!”
So, Brad went searching… searching through meditation, yoga, self-help books, journaling, and – especially – songwriting. And, those close will tell you that his journeys have paid off, providing him with inner happiness, contentment, a love of living, and songs dipped in the profound aspects of the human condition.
His first three releases – using the band name A Year From Monday – contained songs asking listeners to: cast aside judgment and embrace people from all skips of life, tread in others’ soles before criticizing others’ actions, pursue one’s passion to blossom one’s bliss, deal with painful issues to venture beyond pain’s binds, and care less what others think of you and more of what you think of you.
Now, with this latest release Ameruka – and first as The Brad Sound – he continues some of those same themes, but also asks listeners to: strive for equality in relationships, send love rather than negative energy to people, issues, or events that are troubling, and take the decent into inner darkness as a means to remove obstacles in the way of pure elation.
“My desire is for this music to help listeners in some poignant way regardless of where they’re at in their personal odysseys. Yes, I’m an idealist and an optimist as often as possible, for what better way is there to fully enjoy all facets of humanity and life on Earth."
