Musical high points for this Taurus include having Alex Dean guest with his self-titled (Bradley Richardson) quartet and playing with Peter Appleyard in a big band setting. Studying with Pat Labarbera at Humber closely follows those as well as the time spent studying with Renee Rosnes.
His aspirations for the future include getting his Masters degree in music and to continue working with his quartet and on its repertoire. He is also working toward an album from his quartet.
Bradley’s favourite quote is, “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”...Pablo Picasso
