Check Out Bradley Valentin’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Bradley Valentin

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Born and Raised in Brooklyn, NY, first gen. Came from a musical family; my late great uncle was a part of big jazz band in the 50’s that toured all over the world. My late step-father was a multi-instrumentalist that played 8 instruments. My youngest sister studied piano. Voice, however, was always “my thing.” I always paid attention to the vocalist.

Fast forward, I was part of a touring rock band with notable mentions. We made a name for ourselves in Brooklyn, and started buzzing in the west; LA, Bay Area, Washington State.

Last year, I decided to go solo. Here I am, creating this adventure! Grateful.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I think the balance of staying relevant online and being consistent with releases were some of the challenges in the past.
Coupled by the managing of finances, balancing a full job and your music career.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I have worked in a few industries. A bulk of my experience has been teaching and integrating music and US history. I did that for a long time, before transitioning into advertising. I also own a creative agency on the side. Through this agency, I release self and group funded projects — including my music.

I specialize in storytelling. Whether I am crafting a song or producing a film or an ad, the story is the most important to me.
We all have stories and there are so many ways to convey that to others. Someone needs to hear, see and feel the art.
That drives me — to reach the soul of someone.

I am most proud of the way I invest in myself and my talent, as well as how I create opportunities for others.

Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
I don’t know if I believe in luck. I believe in energy. Energy transforms.

A better question for me is, what energy are you feeding?
