Bradley is a well-known and much-admired name amongst the youngsters and he has struck an emotional chord with his loyal fans with his peppy, contemporary music.[3]
In an interview, Bradley named the Vaccines, 1975, Of Monsters and Men, and the Kooks as the important influences that shaped his interest in the world of music.
He was particularly addicted to Paolo Nutini’s ‘These Streets’ as he found it well-composed. But it was the film, ‘School of Rock’ that inspired Bradley to develop an avid interest in playing the guitar. He is also greatly inspired by Agnus Young (guitarist from the classic AC/DC band).[5]
