Raised in the Black church, Antoine's sound is deeply influenced by the rich traditions of gospel and soul, but his music defies easy categorization.

This theme is particularly evident in his EPs "Even in the Dark" and "Dear Struggling Christian", which have connected deeply with audiences who appreciate his transparency about life's difficulties as a believer.
In 2021, Antoine released his debut album "Light Will Find You", and his follow-up album, "Like Flowers in the Sun", arrived on September 20, 2024, showcasing his evolving artistry and spiritual insight. Antoine's music is more than just a sound—it's a heartfelt invitation to live an honest life, confronting challenges with the hope found in Christ.
Proud of his heritage, Antoine is vocal about his love for Jesus, the Gospel, and his Black identity, acknowledging that his faith doesn't erase his Blackness but redeems it. He finds joy in everyday blessings, whether it's sharing life with his wife Sienna or indulging in fried chicken, collard greens, and gumbo. Through his music and his life, Antoine Bradford seeks to inspire others to embrace both their identity and their faith with boldness and grace.
