In May 2005, Bradshaw launched his own independent music-focused entertainment and music supervision company. His artists have been featured on many primetime television hit shows including Shameless, Grey’s Anatomy, Sons of Anarchy, House, One Tree Hill, Friday Night Lights, The Big C, and Bored To Death.

Born and raised just outside Cleveland, Ohio, the "Rock n’ Roll Capital of the World,” Bradshaw’s childhood was steeped in music lore and the appreciation of what it takes to develop musical talents. He took a detour when he was recruited to play tennis at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. After graduation, Bradshaw served as a Naval Officer on the USS Nashville. Once his service was honorably fulfilled, Bradshaw immediately headed to NYC to build his career in music.
Today, Bradshaw lives in Los Angeles and is a well-known fixture in the live music scene.
