British-born mixing engineer, guitarist, songwriter, film/TV composer — and above all, musical artist — with over 25 years of experience. I’m offering free artistic consultation to fellow bands/singer songwriters seeking objective, unfiltered feedback, free from “producer/client” politics.
Over the years, I’ve shared stages with artists including Basement Jaxx, Publicist (Trans Am), The Heavy, Heather Small (M People) and had the honour of an impromtu set with the late Jake Black (Alabama 3) on dobro. I've collaborated with producer/engineers Mathias Schneeberger (Afghan Whigs, Mark Lanegan, Foo Fighters, SUNN O))), Earth), Andy Rugg (Coldplay) and Marcel Van Limbeek (Tori Amos). My music has been broadcast on the BBC, and I’ve performed at Glastonbury Festival, BBC studios, MISS USSR UK, Punchdrunk Lates, and The London Catwalk Society.
For screen, my compositions have featured on BBC, Sky Horror, and Current TV, with contributions to BFI-favourite short CORVIDAE, starring Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones). I’ve also created music for campaigns by American Crew and Glenlivet Whisky, and consulted on corporate PR, art installations, and technology start-ups.
Recent artist development and mixing work includes singer-songwriters Shaun Boag (UK/NZ) and Justine Hart (UK). Originality impresses. Honesty endures. I help artists pursue the latter without losing the former.

Interview with Rob Bradley
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Justine Hart - creative counsel on 20 demos, songwriting deconstruction, stylings, dynamics etc. went on to engineer mixes for 4 selected songs (all paid work). My work served as "foil" or alternative counsel to their ongoing work with Producer Owen Morris (OASIS). Shaun Boag - a natural undiscovered talent in the chill/folk genre, shaun has no recording or performance experience but an arsenal of hooks with an already established original voice. My commercial and professional session experience has primarily been as a Film/TV Composer, producing a diverse range of musical styles including orchestral arrangements and modern, cutting edge electronic aesthetics. Often, my guitar work compliments the requirements.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Getting a strong feeling for requirements and whether I emotionally connect with the work, and can bring something unique to the table and really compliment and elevate the client's vision.
