Braden Joshua Bales is a singer-songwriter who has been working towards becoming an artist since age 14. After high school, Bales attended the Metalworks Institute (of Mississauga), where he would receive a degree in audio engineering. This education was a massive part of his development as an artist. He always knew he wanted to make music, but now he also knew how to mix and master it, allowing it to sound EXACTLY the way he had pictured it in his head.

“I think that there’s a lot that goes into music. And there’s a lot more to music than just the melody and the words that are used. Half of it is really body language, and the distance between yourself and the person you’re speaking to or about. The production and mastering elements that I’ve been able to learn throughout my education and career are just as important to the song to me as the actual composition, because it helps better tell the story.”
