“Sheffield is absolutely packed full of so much talent, from crazy singers to multi-talented instrumentalists - a few of which I’ve had the pleasure of working and collaborating with.
“Young people these days are into every kind of music that you could possibly find. I’ve met so many people that enjoy pop music just as much as indie rock or rap,” said Brad.
Brad can often be seen performing on The Moor, and boasts an eclectic repertoire of songs.

But he does not always receive positive responses to his music.
“A couple of weeks back I got threatened by three guys telling me to leave town. They cut my wires and left...I had a spare wire so I waited for them to leave, then carried on.”
