==Career==
Bradley released her debut album ''Just a Little Bit'' on her own label in 2007. In 2009, she signed with Les Cutmore's Trippin' N' Rhythm Records and recorded her second, ''Bloom'', with [[Grammy Award]]-winning producer Michael Broening at his studio in [[Phoenix, Arizona]]. ''Bloom'' won instant critical acclaim and Bradley followed it in 2011 with ''[[Unscripted]]''. The hit single from that album, "Massive Transit", co-written by Bradley and Broening, remained at No. 1 on the US [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] Smooth Jazz Songs chart for six weeks.<ref>http://www.billboard.com/charts/2011-09-24/jazz-songs Retrieved July 13, 2013.</ref> ''Unscripted'' itself topped the Billboard Jazz Albums chart for two weeks.<ref>http://www.billboard.com/charts/2011-07-16/jazz-albums Retrieved July 13, 2013.</ref>
 
Often labelled as a [[smooth jazz]] artist, although some critics have found her difficult to categorize at all, Bradley cites her major influences in jazz as fellow trumpet players [[Freddie Hubbard]], [[Lee Morgan]], and [[Blue Mitchell]]. When she is not touring or playing at jazz festivals, she works as a public elementary school band teacher in [[New Jersey]].<ref>Interview with Cindy Bradley July 3, 2013.</ref> Cindy is a longtime [[vegan]] and [[animal rights]] advocate.
