About
Awards and Achievements
Brad has received several awards as an independent musician. He has been nominated for Contemporary and Acoustic artist of the year at IndieHeaven (www.indieheaven.com). His song “Prayers of a Prodigal” was also nominated for Song of the Year. In 2002, Tom Dooley of “The Journey” radio broadcast named Brad one of top 20 independent artists in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Recently (May 2009) the song "Praying for You" made it to the number one spot on the IndieHeaven Fan Faves chart and held the position for several days until its time on the chart expired.
He has placed songs on top of many independent music charts in the states and overseas. Contemporary Christian Music International also named him one of the top 10 independent artists. Brad has also been recognized by his peers for his ability to place interesting lyrics with great pop hooks. His retro sound is reminiscent of people like Steven Curtis Chapman, Billy Joel and Kenny Loggins, while his vocal, piano and guitar delivery evokes thoughts of artists like Keith Green, Carman or Wayne Watson.
Brad has a BA in English and Drama from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. He has years of experience with concerts and leading worship. This has given him the priviledge of working with and being trained by incredible artists like Jeff Ferguson, Regi Stone and Higher Ground. His songs have been recorded by other independents like the Southern Christian rock Band, Hearts of Fire. Brad delivers a powerful message of God’s love and shares the gospel through the humor and music.
