Artist Spotlight - Brad Real
September 04, 2011

One of the most hard-working, inspiring and uplifting artists in the Indianapolis music scene, Brad Real breaks the mold of hip-hop stereotypes to share his passion for music while delivering explosive, unforgettable performances that you simply shouldn’t miss.

Being a self-proclaimed nerd growing up, Brad has been writing poetry since he was a child. When he discovered hip-hop in the early 90’s, he began turning his poetry into actual songs, eventually recording them on his family’s computer using a plastic plug-in microphone over the sounds of Digital Underground, 2pac, B.I.G. and any other instrumentals he could find. Addicted to the feeling he got from this, he started taking music more seriously as he got older. “I loved hearing my thoughts come to life. The sense of self-worth and happiness music gives me is priceless. There is always that next step, that next goal to go after. I will never stop.”

You can catch Brad performing around three or four times per month, most regularly at Locals Only and The Melody Inn. “I love playing to those rooms, especially when they are full.” Last summer, he opened for Cypress Hill at The Vogue and he also put on an amazing performance at this year’s Indiana State Fair. “Indy’s music scene is absolutely amazing. There is no way I can put into words what it means to me and the role it plays in my life. I have mad friends for life on the scene, most of which are with other artists. I go wherever the local hip-hop is that night. We all support each other. It’s a great community, we are like family.”

Now working on his third major release called “Letters to the Editor,” Brad is shifting to making a record that he is making for himself instead of what he thinks other people would like. The album will be a collection of his experiences, thoughts, beliefs and life through music released on his record label, 8729 Records. Hoping to release this project sometime in the spring, his upcoming Oranje performance (which will also feature Big Tid, DJ Ganzarelli and Ty Caldwell) will allow us to get a taste of “Letters to the Editor.”

Always a supporter of Indianapolis music, Brad is in the process of making a collaboration track with the band The Holland Account. 8729 Records also has an event series called Breaking Ground, which features a wide variety of music genres. The last event for Breaking Ground was at The White Rabbit Cabaret, featuring Brad Real, Oreo Jones, The Post Script and Finer. “My goal remains the same: to wake up happy and go to bed happy. My biggest fear in life was to be an old man who had regrets. It would be great to make a living off of music. I will continue to work towards that. In the meantime and beyond it's all about enjoying life, self-fulfillment and passion. “

This will be the first year at Oranje for Brad, both as a participant and a guest. He will be playing at 1:00 a.m. on the Old Soul Ramp Stage. Brad has nothing scheduled in the time between now and September 17^th, wanting Oranje to be his next focus. “We are truly honored to be a part of it. I’m most looking forward to being surrounded by so many other talented musicians and artists. A lot of the people on the bill are folks that I have looked up to and focused on to learn the right way to do things. It’s incredible to see our name alongside them. Playing Oranje has always been a goal of ours and we have worked our butts off to get here. It will all be unleashed September 17^th!”
