However, it wasn’t until he was 25 while working with a small group of audio dadaists in Orlando that Chris became entranced with the world of sound recording. Chris has studied music education at The University of Central Florida and music therapy at SUNY New Paltz.
Working closely with brother, Pat Bradley, Chris has been creating soundtracks for an abundance of animations and videos, as well as creating 5 studio albums with Pat as recording artists, June Cleaver & The Steak Knives, whose recordings awarded them best music of 2003 by Hudson Valley Magazine. Chris began doing soundtrack work for The Field Museum in 2004, and the experience has solidified his interest in sound design and scoring for animation and film.
Chris has a unique approach to composing and creating sound, and is dedicated to producing extraordinary music, yet firmly accessible for those who require it. He is talented, versatile, and affordable. Contact him today to talk about the audio possibilities of your project.

“Chris Bradley created a memorable score to our successful Prehistoric Lake County exhibition. The soundtrack not only drew visitors to the video in which it supported but also into the exhibition. It created a cohesive feel that enhanced the entire exhibition, a perfect mix of multi-media.”

"Working with Chris was absolutely ideal. We needed original music in order to promote our video as widely as possible, but had little budget or time. I sent Chris the rough cut and described to him the vibe we were trying to achieve. Chris came back with several different ideas, and one which was right on. We then sent Chris the final video, and he worked directly with the editors to perfect the music. Chris was in New York, the video
editors were in Seattle and I was in North Carolina. We all got the project done on a rushed timeline and limited budget. I would recommend Chris for any original music development - no matter what the subject or project. He was very adaptable, worked under an incredibly tight deadline and produced a robust soundtrack that would have cost
too much with a large firm. He is terrific."
