The Collective

Michael Bradford is a multi-platinum producer and songwriter, having produced work  for a wildly diverse group of artists, including pop (Anita Baker, Ben Folds, Madonna),  (Deep Purple, Stevie Nicks), Country (Travis Tritt, John Mellencamp), Underground  (Butthole Surfers, Mindless Self-Indulgence), Hip-Hop (Run-DMC, Kid Rock) and  Dance (AV Super Sunshine, Pure Sugar, Liz Primo). Michael’s songwriting catalog  includes several hits that span multiple genres.

A multi-instrumentalist, Michael plays guitar, bass, cello, drums and keyboards, and he  is known for his large analog synthesizer collection. Always in search of a new sound,  Michael combines instruments, amps and effects, along with varying acoustical  spaces, to create new sounds and textures.

A recording artist in his own right, Michael Bradford released his first solo album “The  Long Night” in 2014. He is currently preparing the follow up, a unique project that  combines the film music of the legendary compose Bernard Herrmann with  downtempo and trip-hop beats. Michael’s music has been described by American  Songwriter Magazine’s Paul Zollo as “Funk Noir”.

Michael Bradford still makes time for live performance, and is currently dividing his time between two legendary artists: Richie Sambora’s new band RSO (Richie Sambora & Orianthi) and Dave Stewart (Eurythmics).

Spending time in his personal recording studio, and then time on the road playing for  thousands of people each night – it’s the best of both worlds.
