Ian Bradley was born just outside of Washington D.C. in Rockville,
Maryland. Heavily influenced by the grunge rock, jazz and classical
music that surrounded him, he trained as a guitarist and pianist for
the majority of his youth. As he moved beyond these suburban and
rural influences, he began to explore the history of hip-hop and
electronica. He finally took it upon himself to explore production
during his time at the Rhode Island School of Design. Inspired by
artists such as Bonobo, DJ Shadow, Prefuse 73 and Aphex Twin, he began
to find his sound, seamlessly blending classical, cinematic, and
progressive structures with the feel of gritty, abstract urban rythms.
The result is an ever-changing, multifaceted environment that lulls
the listener in with something of the familiar , the reassuring, and
then holds the listener's interest with strange hooks, eerie sounds,
and a trance-inducing vibe. A perfectionist, Ian is relentlessly
pushing himself to bring something newer and truer to the audience.
