Brad Rounds

Since the age of seven, Brad Rounds, now twenty-three, has been a musical enthusiast and a natural public performer. Growing up in San Luis Obispo County, Brad honed his natural musical talents with a wide range of performance experiences including: taking on roles in school musicals as well as singing and studying in jazz, opera, and choirs for over a decade. His love of musical studies eventually led him to earn his Bachelor's Degree in Music with a classical vocal concentration from a Cal State University.

By the age of twelve, Brad found his influences in the work of many popular artists in the early to mid-nineties. In particular, Brad took notice of the ?British Post Rock? sounds of Oasis, Blur, and The Verve. Like many others, he was also inspired by the powerful choruses, lyrics, and melodic lines of icons such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and the captivating yet heartbreaking sounds of The Beach Boys.
As a young teen Brad began experimenting musically; learning to extract and skew what he heard on the radio every day and making a creation that was all his own. Finding himself engulfed in an atmospheric-alternative-indie-rock-pop sound, he developed himself in his music and found his true calling.
Beyond his formal education, Brad has further had his hands deep in the music industry, working with musical professionals such as Dave Marino, (Puddle of Mudd drummer) and CEO Stephan Villanueva of Castle Studios. Recently, Brad performed on five different occasions for VH1's Celebrity Sober House in the summer of 2008, which subsequently led to an appearance on the pilot episode of Andy Dick's program, You Don't Know Dick.

-?I have to say one of the best performances I have ever experienced was in the Andy Dick Black Box Theatre on Sunset in Hollywood, just me and my acoustic guitar, in front of all the cast and crew of Vh1's Celebrity Sober House; seven cameras!?
