It’s time for another Meet the Artist Monday, and we’re thrilled to introduce you to the incredible John Michael
Bradford!🔥 Hailing from New Orleans LA, John Michael has been shaping their craft with passion and precision. They’ve got a sound like no other, and now they’re bringing that unique voice to LOTUS. 🎶✨
🎺 Model: Lead/Solo Mouthpiece: 3M Nickel
🎵 Location: Los Angeles, CA
🎶 Why LOTUS? The question should be why not lotus?? Lotus trumpets and mouthpieces have completely changed my life and playing for the better. Ever since I started playing the mouthpieces a few years ago, my range, endurance, and accuracy have increased tremendously. Lotus simply makes everything easier and better. The versatility of this horn is outstanding. You can play really bright and standout in a section, but you can also play warm depending on how you approach the horn. It’s not just one tone or color. I’ve been playing the new lotus solo lead model and it got me through 28 gigs in two weeks during jazz fest in New Orleans. It definitely made my life easier and felt strong throughout all the shows.
🎵 What’s Next? I’m still performing regularly with PJ Morton and Dumpstaphunk. I’m also working on a new album and various other projects. I have some performances coming up in LA with my band and a cool duo trumpet quartet show with Jay Jennings on June 10th at the Baked Potato. I’ll also be performing at gov ball in NYC this June and lollapalooza with an artist named Montrell Fish. I’ll be posting everything on my website and social media if y'all wanna keep up with what I’m doing!
