History:
Originally
from Motown, "Detroit" Mike Bradford has made very fast strides since
coming to L.A. A quadruple-threat, Michael plays bass, guitar, drums and
keyboards, and is an international re-mixer of songs for artists in the U.K.,
Japan and Malaysia.
Since the
second half of 1999, Michael has been working with Kid Rock as his
engineer-programmer. Building a unique "Rolling Studio" in the back
lounge of a tour bus, they have been able to produce new music for a variety of
projects, including Run-DMC and Tommy Lee's Methods of Mayhem.
In the field of
engineering, Mike recently worked on the New Radicals album, "Maybe You've
Been Brainwashed Too", demonstrating his skills with both analog tape and
Pro Tools-style engineering, editing and treatments. Michael is a long-time
pioneer in the use of ProTools in many unique applications and environments.
As a re-mixer and programmer, Michael has worked on tracks for fellow
Detroiters Wayne Kramer (Epitaph) and Kid Rock (Lava), mainstream artists like
Brownstone and Spice Girls, and underground artists like Mankind Liberation
Front (RCA), Flak (Roadrunner) and Neneh Cherry (Virgin). Mike's knowledge of
various musical styles comes from his diverse musical background as a musician
and engineer for everyone from Anita Baker to New Radicals and the legendary
reggae group, the Heptones.
In the film area, Michael has completed music with Terence Trent D'arby/Hans
Zimmer and Paul Buckmaster, including work on "The Fan", "Most
Wanted" and "Murder in Mind", using his abilities as a
synthesist, sound designer and rhythm programmer to enhance traditional
orchestration. His latest film projects include writing original music for
"Mean Streak" (Paramount/Showtime) and the new Will Smith Picture,
"Wild Wild West", featuring a song that he co-wrote and co-produced
for Latin artist Valeria (Interscope).
