Hailing from Tallaght in Dublin, Ireland, 24-year-old Bradley Marshall shares ‘Terrified’, his first release signed to EMI Records – Listen HERE.
Bradley’s distinct vocal style carves the way for the next generation of singer-songwriters with heartfelt songs that pack a powerful emotional punch.
Co-written with Liam Geddes (who also co-produced) and Charlie Bryce, ‘Terrified’ spotlights Bradley’s knack for writing honest and relatable songs whilst showing that his talents are developing at a rapid rate. “I wish that I could show the parts of me that I don’t like / but I’m terrified,” he sings over delicate piano chords, his bold voice displaying an innate talent for an emotion-drenched delivery of a heart-rending lyric.
“Terrified is about overcoming insecurities when you just don’t feel comfortable in your own skin,” Bradley explains. “I wrote this song for people who struggle to embrace their so called ‘flaws’ and to echo the point, that they are not alone.”
Growing up singing and writing all his own music, Bradley’s unique formula of songwriting touches the hearts of every listener, as proven with the independently released ‘Perfect For Me’ which has stacked up almost 10 million streams and built an already steady dedicated following around him.
Bradley began building a steady following with cover versions of songs by such diverse artists as Billie Eilish, James Arthur, Luther Vandross, plus a confidently tackled Bruno Mars ‘Grenade’ cover at just 11 years old. Since that point, Bradley’s potential was immediately evident.
“One thing I do know is I could never see myself doing anything else but singing my songs. Stepping onstage to sing in front of people is a feeling I know I will never get doing anything else. I genuinely feel that performing and sharing my stories is what I was born to do.”
With a sold-out debut headline show in Dublin’s much-loved Workman’s Club Cellar under his belt, and an appearance at the Bundoran Sea Sessions Festival this weekend (June 21-23), Bradley Marshall is a singular artist set to become one of Ireland’s next great singer-songwriters.
