After high school, he attended the University of Arkansas, where he majored in philosophy with a double minor in religious studies.
While he was attending college, he managed the Gate, a local concert venue. In late 2002, he saw poet Clayton Scott perform, which inspired Bradley to write his first poem entitled, "I Felt Really Good This Day, Yes."
Soon after he began writing poetry, he dropped out of college and stopped managing the Gate in order to pursue writing full-time. He first toured in the summer of 2004, and has since toured with He Is Legend, The Chariot, As Cities Burn, Far-Less, and Blindside.
He has played at the Creation Festival, Ichthus Music Festival, the Alive Festival, the Cornerstone Festival, Parachute Music Festival, Purple Door, and Tomfest music and arts festival.
In 2010 Bradley performed a short spoken word piece with the band Insomniac Folklore entitled "Kid and Snail" for the intro to their "LP" album. He released his latest record, How Long,on November 5, 2013.
lieutenant continues in the independent folk direction with a degree of country influence. Spoken poetry over music does appear in the album, though the majority features his unique vocals.
