Elton Bradman

Grammy-nominated sound designer and creative-operations professional with 8+ years of experience bridging music, storytelling, and data systems. I specialize in helping creative and technical teams work in sync, whether that means coordinating complex production schedules, maintaining CRM and workflow documentation across multiple time zones, or shaping sound that elevates a story’s emotional core.

My career has spanned theatre, film, and editorial leadership, from designing award-winning productions and mixing live performances to serving as Editor-at-Large for Bass Magazine and contributing to outlets like Rolling Stone and Vibe. I’ve learned that great storytelling relies on both inspiration and structure... and that clarity and organization are every bit as creative as the sound itself.

Creative professional blending award-winning sound design and composition with 20+ years of editorial expertise. Equally comfortable shaping narratives on the page and designing immersive audio environments. Known for clear communication, sharp editorial judgment, and forward-thinking problem-solving.
