Hailing from Australia, Bradley McCaw is tour de force singer/actor/entertainer.

First hailed a ‘creative chameleon’ at the age of 17, his work spans music, theatre and tv.

He first stepped inside a recording studio in 2013, with ten songs that would later be turned into his debut album WORRIED MINDS. Unbeknownst to him and the musicians on the session, these songs would take a staggering ten years to complete.

Over the next decade, from the small town of Brisbane (Australia), Bradley would begin the journey to complete his dream album, eventually working with genuine music legends (Louie Shelton, Nathan East, J.R Robinson, Greg Phillinganes and James Morrison) at some of the world’s most prestigious studios including Capitol Studios (LA).

This story, proving real life is stranger than sometimes fiction, has been adapted in the upcoming documents podcast series “MAKING WORRIED MINDS: Ten Years in Ten Songs.”

Bradley’s journey as an entertainer begun as a struggling actor and trained classical singer at 20 years of age. His first job was touring the world performing with award winning singing group ‘The Ten Tenors’ (This also included a performance at AFL GRAND FINAL in 2014).

During this time he also developed his craft as a writer. He premiered various musical productions in Australia (BECOMING BILL, THE OASIS, ANY MOMENT) wrote several full length plays & award winning cabaret works performed in New York and London. He also begun producing other music artists whose work would feature on Australian Radio, win Aria Awards (The Australian Grammy’s), reach #1 on the charts and be stream over 20+ million times online.

But it wasn’t till a meeting with LA music legend ‘Louie Shelton’ (Lionel Ritchie, The Jacksons, John Lennon, The Monkees and many many more) in 2013, that his career would begin to take shape. Under the mentorship of Louie, one of pop musics great icons, Bradley studied the art of record making, song arrangements, and musicianship. He would even obtain a Masters In Music from Griffith Conservatorium, studying Blues & Gospel Piano during this time, performing at some of Australia’s most prestigious venues and small local Saturday markets alike.

Then during the worldwide covid lockdowns in 2020-2022 his debut album, yes that one that was first started in 2013… finally came back into focus.

Working at the historic ‘Studios 301’ in Sydney Australia, Bradley & his team judged lock downs and isolations, following all legal responsibilities, developing those ten songs from 2013 into a full length record.

In addition to Louie Shelton’s masterful guitar work they would be joined by a handful of new musical legends.

Nathan East on bass guitar, a founding member of the chart-topping contemporary jazz group, Fourplay, and collaborator to legendary artists like Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Barbra Streisand, Daft Punk and Stevie Wonder. And musical solo features by Australian music royalty James Morrison and Andrew Oh.

By June 23rd 2023, Bradley’s debut album WORRIED MINDS was released worldwide by Old Fashioned Records.

The record featured his singles SO GLAD, YOU AIN’T FOOLIN’ ANYONE, CRAZY, and a duet SOMEONE LIKE YOU ( with Australian Diva ‘Paulini’) featured on Australia TV & Radio, broke into the Top 10 iTunes Country Charts and is nearing 500,000 streams on Spotify.
