Bradley Joseph (born 1965) is an American composer, arranger, and
producer of contemporary instrumental music. His compositions include
works for orchestra, quartet, and solo piano, with his musical style
ranging from "quietly pensive mood music to a rich orchestration of
classical depth and breadth". Active since 1983, he played various
instruments in rock bands throughout the Midwest until 1989 when Greek
composer Yanni hired him for his next tour after hearing a tape of
Joseph's compositions. He was a featured concert keyboardist with
Yanni through six major tours and appears in the 1994 multi-platinum
album and video, Yanni Live at the Acropolis. In 1994, Joseph's solo
career began when he independently released Hear the Masses, featuring
many of his Yanni bandmates. This debut was followed by Rapture, an
instrumental album recorded with a 50-piece orchestra, in which Joseph
wrote and conducted all of the scores. It was released on the Narada
label and reached NAV's "Airwaves Top 30". He has produced 15 CDs/DVDs
and numerous piano books under his own record label, Robbins Island
Music. Two of these recordings, Christmas Around the World and One
Deep Breath, also held positions on NAV’s Top 100 radio chart. His
music is included in multiple various-artist compilation albums, most
recently the 2008 release of The Weather Channel Presents: Smooth Jazz
II.
