Hi! My names Brad. I grew up in Birmingham, AL and currently living here now. I first picked up a guitar when I was about 11 or 12 years old; haven't put it down since at 29! Started learning chords and songs from some of my friends but for the most part have been completely self taught. I played in various punk and metal bands throughout my high school career and a little bit after; have written and composed music/lyrics for over ten years now and its one of my biggest passions! I started playing in local churches in my 20s, then attended ministry school in 2016 to learn more in the area of church/worship leading. Was on staff as the music director at a church in Knoxville, TN for over a year helping guide and train musicians in excellence in their craft and tap into their true potential; quickly found out this is something I was good at and that really excited me. Besides music (which is probably the biggest part of my life) I love the outdoors! Whether it be hiking, biking or activities like ultimate frisbee. And of course enjoy any and all kinds of streaming services to binge good shows! (If you're a fan of the Office there will probably be a lot quoting of it.) And last but certainly lost least I'm a coffee snob; if I get the opportunity to teach you there will more than likely be a coffee within arms reach.
