Hung Over

Hey y'all!

Now I don't even need to ask the question "Have you ever been Hung Over?" do i...Nope I dint think so.

Those of you who have been hung over will know, that sometimes when you are out 'on the lash/'avin it/muggin' the bar' sometimes its better to avoid the hang over by.....yep, to keep on drinking!

Yet we all know that sometimes when the hang over kicks in, and you say the good 'ol famous saying "I'm never drinking again!" we all know you really mean "same time next week yeh?"

Well I'm here to tell ya, I've done it many many times, I'm not proud of it (maybe a little proud) BUT as they say, you song write on what you know, so i came up with 'Hung Over'.

Taken from my album #ComicBookVillain is one of my favourite tracks, because of its different club vibe and pop/rap-ish vocals! Hope you enjoy!

Exciting Stuff

Hellllloooooooooooooo Everybody!


Well, All i can say really is one hell of a lot has happened since my last post! Yes my showcase was completed and over (thank god) as much as i loved doing it, preparing the show was a damn nightmare!


Firstly I did a gig last week, i opened at a charity Showcase, it was put together by some lovely people and i really enjoyed it. It was interesting because i performed newly mixed songs from my album and a couple have swear words in there, and when i got off stage i saw a priest and a nun in the audience, but hey ho, it was all good! I performed my single #Wasted as well as my new single and an album track, it seemed to go down well and I came off sweating so all good!


Also the album, THE ALBUM! The album has been mixed, mastered, sprinkled with fairy dust, whatever you wanna call it, and all i can say is it is bloody fantastic! I have fallen in love with the album all over again like a new lover! There are some really great stand out tracks, some pure pop gold and electro madness so I'm really happy with it!


My new single has been chosen from the album, I'm not going to reveal the title or play you any clips just yet, because i really want to wait until the video, the video is beginning ideas now so it really shouldn't take too long, and its going to be an energetic video i can tell you that!


Last but not least (and nothing to do with music) but last week i got back from Gran Canaria for my holidays, and i can tell you I needed it after that damn showcase! It was meant to be a relaxing chilled holiday, bit of reading, bit of ipod listening, writing some new songs, tanning, sleeping, BUT NO did i do any of that? NOPE! all i saw was the night time, bars, clubs, dance floors, and it was hilarious and so much fun! So much fun that I'm going back in September! Whoop whoop!


When i get news or a picture or something from the new video ill post it to give you a taste of what will be coming ;)


Speak soon!

Bradley Say Album Showcase

Well, well, well! Its the night after my album showcase, and do you know what i feel the most? Relief. Relief that i get a day off today from rehearsing, performing, practising, organising, preparing, and just stress. So happy to just chill, sit and watch Rio the film I've had sitting in front of me for days with no time to watch!

Well I'm not gonna write pages and pages about last night, just wanted to say WHAT A PANIC we had right before the show. Sound man: Yeh, mate, you cant use a wireless mic it ain't working properly in here. Me: But i have dance moves, i cant not use a wireless mic. Anyway thanks to moi, it all got figured out and it worked out A-okay!

There was a diva delay of 30 minutes thanks to people turning up late, but all went smoothly from there! Started with the dancers doing #HungOver then moving swiftly on #RingLeader then onto #Wasted.

Heres a little clip of #Wasted as loaded by someone who attended the show http://yfrog.com/nnao1z

Came back 10 minutes later with a small yet amazing acoustic set with #NotGoodEnough & #KilledYourEgo having such a great reception, and my dad was the guitarist for the night, keeping it in the family.

The last section was #YouCantKeepUp & #Murderer mixed together with a great urban routine with the dancers. The moved swiftly on to #SayWhat? with the last track being a cover of #SexyChick!

I really enjoyed myself and it was a great success, and a great turnout which means a great donation to the Rainbow Trust Foundation!

So thank you to everybody who came and made it a success!

'Hello Birmingham!'

Hey Everyone,

Hope everyone is well and busy bees!

I know i have been, a busy 'B' indeed. I wanted to write about my gig i did in Birmingham at the weekend, i wouldn't normally blog about every gig that i do, but this was a different one, and one that i feel the need to write about because it was my first outside, massive stage and massive crowd gig!

I went alone, which was a good thing i think really, i felt very independent, and all kinds of grown up...'out there doing it on my own' type of feeling and i now know that i can get through such stress alone. I spent a lot of the day killing time to be honest. In true Bradley fashion i got there many hours early, always a 'must get there early just in case' type of persona.

I pretty much stood like a joner watching the other acts really for hours (secretly checking out the competition haha) and an hour before i was due to be on stage i went back behind stage with my little AAA (access all area) pass that i wore proudly round my neck which also said 'Artist' on it, its here hanging in my room. I sorted myself out, meaning make up, hair, got dressed while being bogged at by other artists who i could tell were giving me the 'is he here on his own, wonder what hes like' look. But carried on getting ready anyway. I then heard my name being called out by two young guys, i was like who are these dudes, and why do they know my name. They said they were from BBC Radio Birmingham, i was like 'yes?' and they held these little postcards, and they said they are going to be introducing me onto the stage and i am their first act to introduce, they had on their postcard little facts about me that they had researched earlier. i.e. 'He has the coolest tattoos, he likes to get 'Wasted' and hes a very good looking guy' and then they asked where am i from, i stupidly said 'Essex' and then they went mad with 'The Only Way Is Essex' introduction jokes. *i rolled my eyes, they saw me roll my eyes*.

So when it came time for my slot i got told they were running behind and had to wait like, forever! But eventually after a while it was my time to perform, I'm not gonna lie to you, i was nervous, i always get nervous, and i am very glad i get nervous. If i didn't get nervous i no i don't enjoy it anymore, but after the waiting and my mind telling 'why the hell do you do this to yourself' it came time for me to perform.

I waited off stage while the act before me finished, then on went the BBC guys giving their 'Essex' impersonations etc, then on i came, and I cant tell you how good it was to see around 600 people in a crowd cheering after you had been introduced, and I cannot put into words how good it was to say "HELLO BIRMINGHAM!", the performance was a rush it really was. I performed my single 'Wasted' first with a 'You gonna get wasted with me Birmingham' to begin with, they seemed to enjoy and i saw lots of people dancing in the crowd! I then went on to perform a track from my album, the song was called 'Buster' and had a great little chat to introduce the track. After i finished performing 'Buster' the two BBC guys came on stage and said 'Give it up for Bradley' and i was like 'Oi! I ain't don't yet! I have another song!' as i chased them off stage!

The last song i performed was a cover track that i knew they would love, and I knew they would know, and it was 'Sexy Chick!'. I'm not foolish, i know to save the winning song until last! They loved it, they sang along, they screamed as i said 'Birmingham are you sexy?'. I thanked them and i left the stage.

But that's not all, as i left the stage, and i mean as soon as i left the stage i heard 'BRADLEY!' I looked and it was a group of people, i pointed at myself 'Me?' they said 'BRADLEY!' so i went over and then i saw they were all holding out autograph books and nice pens which i kinda wanted to take! So i signed, i felt like a rock star and also a little embarrassed because I'm not a rock star, i felt silly performing when at the moment I'm a nobody! But what the hell, i lived it up and i signed all ten of them!

So that was it really, i went home and was buzzing BUT unbelievable tired!

Comic Book Villain

This week has been a defining week, it really has. Its been a roller coaster I'll have you know. Firstly my ticket sales have hit the roof for my showcase...

I purposely picked a small venue that would be limited attendees because basically i did not think many people would want to come, i really didn't. Well, i was completely wrong, it has now got to the point where i am SOLD OUT and now having to have a reserve list and sadly refusing tickets. I wish i didn't have to but if i sell anymore there's gonna be a health and safety issue!

Anyway that was the first amazing thing to happen this week. But also, my video, i know I'm not about to break the record for most views of a video (clearly) but over 600 views this week, its the most Ive had so I'm ecstatic!

But most of all my album cover has been modified (aka changed completely) and looks AH-MAZ-ING! i designed myself, edited myself as i always do (I'm a control freak) and although it wont be shown for a while yet, i can reveal the brand new title. Its a big change for me because Ive been working towards this album that i was determined to call "Seeing Red" and it has been called "Seeing Red" for years, but for some reason when we changed the album track listing, the sound etc the new title just seemed to fit, it works and its amazing.

But without further babble, the album will now be called "COMIC BOOK VILLAIN"!

Hope you like!
