Life

Influenced by his father's influence, Bradley Joseph began playing the piano at the age of eight. Already in his youth he realized that music would influence his further career. After graduating from high school, he began studying music at Moorhead State University . He was able to make a name for himself in the rock 'n' roll scene, primarily through his appearances with various bands in the Twin Cities on piano and keyboard .

In 1988 Bradley Joseph was discovered by the Greek musician Yanni , who hired him for his band. In the band he worked both as a keyboard player and as a composer. Together with Yanni, he first went on tour in the United States and later worldwide, performing in front of millions of viewers. After six years he left the band and worked from then on for Grammy winner Sheena Easton as a keyboardist.

In 1994 Bradley Joseph released his first solo album Hear The Masses , which consisted of various piano pieces and orchestral ballads, which he recorded with many former band members, but also with other well-known artists. In 1998 he founded his own music label , Robbins Island Music , with which he has since released further albums. In 2003 Joseph continued his collaboration with Yanni.
