John Michael Bradford is a trumpeter/singer/ composer from New Orleans, Louisiana. Like so many before him, John Michael’s passion for music was sculpted by the spirit, sounds, and fate of New Orleans, Louisiana. Inspired by Sam Williams of Big Sam’s Funky Nation, during his time of evacuation for Hurricane Katrina, John Michael, still being a young boy, realized what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. Bradford's musical gift has now taken him from the streets of New Orleans to performance halls around the world, playing shows in Japan, in Switzerland, at Carnegie Hall in New York, even at the Grammys. His first album, "Something Old, Something New," was released in 2017, while attending Berklee College of Music on a full tuition scholarship. Bradford graduated with a B.A. in Performance from Berklee in 2019 and has since released several singles/projects. His latest single, “Payin’ Dues” ft. Nigel Hall and Ivan Neville is out now!
