"No matter how
terrible things are
in your life, you
can overcome it.
And don't feel like
you have to do it
alone. I had some
help. I had a lot of
help. But I had to be
willing to make the
change in my life."
His smooth jazz can be heard on the Sirius
XM satellite radio Watercolors channel and
on the DirecTV's Music Choice Smooth Jazz
channel.
While revisiting his dark past onstage
during concert performances, Bradley said he
likes to tell the audience about his saving grace:
"If he did it for me – I know I don't look
like what I've been through – but if you have
a desire to really, really put your life together,
you can. No matter how terrible things are in
your life, you can overcome it. And don't feel
like you have to do it alone. I had some help.
I had a lot of help. But I had to be willing to
make the change in my life."
