Bob Bradley is an Award winning English composer, songwriter, musician and record producer. He was born in Teeside. He is the director of Organiq Music composition team based in Leeds who are responsible for the soundtracks of most major documentaries made in the North of England. Co-producer & writer of various Sugababes tracks, emerging electronic musician. Also a Singer/Songwriter signed to Le Grand Magistery.
He has amassed many credits over his 20 or so years in the business. Starting as a singer/songwriter, Bob was touring from the age of 11 with his brother Peter Bradley Junior who later formed the highly credited alternative rock band, Subcircus. Bob was to join Bristol based art rock collective the Blue Aeroplanes where he was described as a seventeen year old whiz kid by the now defunct Melody Maker music magazine. With them he recorded a couple of albums accompanied by much touring.
After departing from the Aeroplanes, Bob went on to have a brief spell with Indie darlings the house of love and recorded an EP with Guy Chadwick under the name the Madonnas.Throughout this time, Bob was active in the London session circuit, playing with many acclaimed artists, musicians and producers. In 1997 he signed with new indie label V2 Records with his own project Lovebabies. The band featured female vocalist, Jenny Clark. They released their debut single 'Explore' to a lukewarm reception possibly due to its experimental direction. Lovebabies' dark and moody sound drew comparrisons with Sneaker Pimps and Morcheeba. A follow up single was released in early 1998, 'Blue Earth Angel', featuring remixes from Attica Blues and DJ Pulse. A full length album was recorded under the title 'For The Realization Of Zion' which was supposedly a nod to the secrets buried within the Priory of Sion, but due to disappointing sales of the previous singles, this release was withdrawn, although some samplers escaped. The UK may not have taken to Lovebabies but they did spend time in the Australian top 10.
It was shortly after this episode that Bob became one of the original members of the UK production house Xenomania with whom he amassed an impressive CV of pop credits, working with artists such as Sugababes, Girls Aloud, Natalie Imbruglia and most recently Gabriella Cilmi. He was responsible for the opening bass riff on Sugababes hit Red Dress amongst others. During his time with Xenomania, he was offered numerous offers to take on soundtrack work which he eventually agreed to tackle. Since then he has composed music scores for BBC, ITV, C4, Nat Geo, Discovery & History channels and in 2008 received a Royal Television Society award for his work on BBCs 'Adam's guide to the Cosmos'. Bob still does his thing with Xenomania and now resides in Leeds where he can be found in his Studios with the fast growing composition team, Organiq Music.
