Award-winning
Canadian singer, songwriter and composer Allister Bradley continues to
woo audiences in his native land with the upcoming release of his third
full-length album.
He studied classical piano throughout his childhood, and though
music was his first love, he followed his parent’s advice and pursued a
“stable career” as a software developer in Waterloo, Ontario. He
continued writing songs on the side and, after 15 years, decided to
head into the recording studio and pursue his original passion.
Bradley released his full-length debut album, No Games, in 2004 and
its follow-up, Too, in 2008. Though both albums were released without
much publicity, they continue to receive regular airplay thanks to the
strength of singles “If I Ever Cried”, “Goodbye, Bedford Falls”, “What
A Day” and “Tip of my Tongue.”
His award-winning compositions have been compared to the works of
Bruce Hornsby, Billy Joel, Elton John, James Taylor, Tom Cochrane and
John Mayer. His piano-centric Jazz and Pop tunes speak to the human
condition as he writes about the joys and struggles in people’s lives.
“Sometimes a person doesn’t want to be cheered up,” he says, “but
instead wants to know that somebody out there understands his or her
pain.”
Bradley also loves sharing the craft of songwriting as a music
educator, with both children and adult songwriters. “Music is
fundamental to the human experience,” he says. “It promotes health and
well-being, and helps our children become the next generation of
thinkers and citizens.”
In other roles, Allister enjoys producing and engineering recordings
for other artists. He is currently recording the songs for his third
full-length album.
