We had the good fortune of connecting with Hayes Bradley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Hayes, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
composing music and producing music may seem shiny and fun a lot of the time to people unfamiliar with the work flow. but most days im completely alone in a room recording sounds and trying to find the right note for many many hours. but thats also the fun part for me.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
ive recently been most excited for my composition work within the film and television world. i have always been deeply interested in scoring when i was making music at a younger age and only recently was able to break into scoring two years ago. ive finished two films and about to start my third which im really excited to announce. its been a long road to get here and had to meet the right people who deeply helped me get here like my agent Phillip Richards and Sean McHugh. without them i wouldnt be here right now.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
i live in beachwood and dont really leave my area much. i grew up in the pacific palisades on the westside but the east is my home. probably do breakfast at clark street, then the oaks gourmet for lunch and then go get drinks at burgundy room before we hit the streets for a night out. usually will always find something good on a thursday night in hollywood.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
i have three younger brothers who are all extremely influential and important in my life. they all are creative and inspiring to me in their own ways. one is a music lawyer, who is also my lawyer, the other is an architect and the youngest is a game designer. they all play a very important role in my personal and creative life.
