Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Kelly Henderson and you are listening to at
Home on Velvet's Edge, where I talked to different artists
and celebrities about their current isolation situation. I love hearing
the stories from people of all kinds and understanding that
we truly are all in this together and there is
not one person not being affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
This week, my guest is Danielle Bradberry. Most of you
(00:21):
probably know Danielle as the winner of season four of
The Voice. She has since taken her power vocals to Nashville,
and so we talked life after the Voice and how
that experience both hurt and helped her career. Danielle is
currently isolating at home in Texas with her family and
her man. So she also told me how they're staying
busy and not busy and what she really is trying
(00:41):
to lean into creatively to help her stay positive. Here's
our conversation. Okay, do you know that when I was
actually reading about you, the first thing that pops up
in the Google searches is Danielle Bradberry single. So I
think a lot of people have a question about this.
Who are you isolating with? I'm actually I do have
(01:02):
a boyfriend. Okay, I'm isolating with him and actually my family.
So we're we're doing pretty good so far, are you.
It's a lot of togetherness, right, it is a lot
of togetherness. Um. And my boyfriend has a d D
so he's like outside inside, outside fishing. I'm like, what
(01:23):
if I just want to like calm down and like
hang out with you, chill out. Yeah. Yeah, it's a
lot of time to have to fill that. Maybe it's good.
He has a couple of activities in mind. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So what kind of stuff are you guys doing to
stay busy? Um, we're just, you know, we're hanging out.
I guess you know, family time is really good and um,
(01:47):
and we're just, yeah, we're hanging out, trying to stay
healthy and uh, trying to do you know at home
workouts and and all that type of stuff and um,
you know, try to get some sunshine while we can,
and um, yeah, there's not much to do, so you
just have to stay sane to entertain yourself. So are
(02:10):
you guys in Nashville. We we're actually in Texas, your Houston,
So I'm in my hometown. Uh so yeah, Yeah, it's
kind of It's kind of nice because I haven't been
home much. So yeah, how are these days just really
different from your normal day to day back when it's
(02:31):
really different? Um, you know, I was on the road
or if not, you know, just in Nashville working on
new music and writing and trying to get everything uh
done for you know, new projects and new everything. So
this kind of well, not kind of, but it did
put a stop in a lot of things. So I'm
(02:53):
trying to get used to that and trying not to
panic and um, just you know, try going to be
stay creative as much as I can in this time.
So yeah, I mean I think that's huge. I was
talking to someone the other day and I just said,
I mean, honestly, the entertainment industry literally just disappeared in
a week, is what it feels like. You know, So
(03:14):
did all your stuff get canceled? It did. Yeah, a
lot of stuff got canceled some you know, the dates changed,
and yeah, the music industry is just trying to live
through Instagram, which is the great thing about social media. Um,
you know, we can try to do as much as
we can through there. So it's a whole other way
(03:37):
of trying to do music that I'm you know, personally
trying to get used to. So yeah, yeah, I mean,
so you were touring, I know you didn't you last
tour with who We're on the road with King Brown?
Was that the last tour? Yeah? So that was the
What's been the biggest thing you've missed from being on
the road? Um, you know, obviously the shows and you
(04:00):
know meet and greets and just seeing all the fans
face to face and stuff like that. I think that's
the biggest, you know, odd thing. You know, my fans
have even voiced it themselves through Instagram. You know, I
had this show booked and now I have to cancel
it and I can't. I hate that I can't see you.
(04:20):
And you know, the last show I did was in
Florida before everything kind of got put to a stop
and we had to cancel the meet and greek there.
So it's just like a lot of weird transitions, and
I know my fans were not too happy about that,
and you know, we're not happy about that. So hopefully,
you know, we were trying to figure out things to
(04:42):
do again over through Instagram that I want to get
our fans back in touch. And trying to do as
much as we can. Yeah, I mean I think it's
been as it was a slow drop, like you said,
at first it started no meet and greets and then
it's just like touring in general got canceled. So have
you been able to connect at all? I've seen a
lot of people doing the lives or um you know
(05:04):
use that you mentioned Instagram a lot like what are
you what are you finding with fans that you can
connect on? Um? Yeah, I recently did a live. I
know a lot of people are doing different types of lives,
you know, like performances or questionnaires, and I did a
questionnaire and I had you know, my boyfriend and my
brothers and everybody in lives. So it was very very entertaining.
(05:27):
A lot going on, but my fans were seemed to
have so much fun and um my mom was actually
in it as well. My fans remember her from her
being with me on the Voice, so it was kind
of it was a really cool moment, and you know,
the fan feedback seemed very positive. So I'll be doing
(05:48):
more lives. Um, I'll try to post more singing videos.
My fans of Voice that you know, music is getting
through getting them through all of this totally. I can
see that for sure. Um. So yeah, more lives, more performances,
more questionnaires, and just to get to know my fans
even more. Now. Yeah, well it's kind of cool you
(06:11):
and I were talking before, because there is not one
person that's not affected by this, and so the one
thing we all have in common is that we're going
through this right now. So I love turning up together
to try to find ways to stay positive through the days,
you know, Yeah, for sure. Um yeah, that's a really
cool way of putting it. You know, everybody's doing the
(06:32):
same thing, no one's doing anything different right now. Yeah,
it's insane, it really is. Um. Speaking of social media,
I saw a post on your Instagram and it was
a quote and it said, which do you want the
pain of staying where you are or the pain of growth?
So and then under that you wrote a caption just
challenging people to kind of use this time of social
isolation for growth, you know, instead of just sitting around
(06:56):
in a funk, to maybe look at it as like
this is the one time that we've all kind of
had stop. So what can you do to grow? Whether
it's brainstorming, you mentioned making mood boards, Pinterest boards, or
just taking time for yourself. Can you tell us a
little more about that? Yeah, for sure, UM, because I
personally got, you know, in a funk, and I I
(07:17):
didn't feel as motivated or didn't know where to really
start through all of this, and um, you know, worried
about being less vocal on on social media and you know,
as artists, we try to be you know in everyone's
face positively, um, as much as we can. So, uh,
(07:38):
there's just a lot of things going through my head.
And then when I posted that, um, you know, I
was thinking, you know, we need to make mood boards
or pinchest boards or you know, be as creative as possible,
um in this time, and you know, do things that
we really haven't been able to get to, like working
out or you know, having time for yourself. Read a book.
(08:02):
That's my challenge right now. I haven't read much and
I want to read more. What are you reading? Um?
This called The Road Back to You? Yeah yeah, yeah,
I read it. So yeah, just life books like that,
and there's just little things and um, you know, like
(08:24):
an example, I You're probably not supposed to, but I
went through the Starbugs drive through. Um, was very careful.
But this girl was talking to me while I was
waiting for my drinks and she was like, you know,
I've worked out as more than I ever have in
my life right now, and I've ordered more um fab
bloodic clothes than ever. And I was like, that's so
(08:46):
good and she was like, yeah, this is really teaching
me to, you know, step out of my comfort zone.
I'm like, that's so cool, Like people actually say that.
So um yeah, back to that quote, just you know,
try to get yourself motivated and inspired each day, you know,
on your own, start things that you never really got to.
(09:07):
So and what is what they're doing. Yeah, I think
that's a great point even about working out, because it's like,
what do they say, it takes a certain amount of
days to create a habit, So we have the days
right now, you might as well try to do something
that maybe you could take, you know, on with you
after this stuff is all over. Yeah, for sure. Um yeah,
we have so much time right now. We're just sitting
(09:30):
with our thoughts and ourselves and you know, this is
the perfect time to do all of that. So yeah,
well I have to ask now that I know you're
reading the road back to you, what is your angiogram number?
I'm a nine. Oh the peacemaker. Okay, Wow, it's so
interesting that I feel like that now. I'm like, okay,
(09:51):
I know who she is. I got it. Yeah, yeah,
I And it's so true. I you know, some of
those things. I'm like, but when I did the in
your Graham, I'm like, I can so see them. I
never like conflict. I'm like, it's just yeah, yeah, So yeah,
I'm a peachmaker. I love that book. I took his His
(10:14):
His name is Ian Morgan Kron, I think right, But
he has his own angiogram test that's a lot more
extensive than some other ones that I've seen, and it was, Yeah,
it was the most accurate. When I took his test,
I understood my number way more and it all made
so much more sense. I actually got a different number
than I had gotten other test. Yeah. But he that
(10:35):
book is so great. I really recommend it. Yeah, It's
like and then it prints out this whole thing about
how you are at work, how you are in relationships,
how you can get through conflict easier based on your number. Yeah.
Pretty fascinating. Yeah, So I want to talk a little
bit about your journey because obviously you mentioned earlier that
you were on the Voice. You won the Voice in
(10:57):
two thousand thirteen, which was was that season four? Were
back in the day, yes, season four? What was that
experience like? Oh man, I you know, I can say
so many things, um, because I was I went in
the competition very you know, I had no experience at all.
(11:19):
I had I was a baby. I was had just
turned sixteen years old and talk about fresh minded, had
no idea what the industry was like at all. And
I think that helped me in a way because a
lot of my um, the other contestants were very experienced
(11:41):
and had sang before and had been a background background
singer for somebody, and I was just you know, tell
me where to go, tell me what to sing. And
I just learned so much and the people on the
show were so helpful, and uh yeah. My coach was
Blake Shelton and he's I don't want to see is
(12:01):
what you get? He's amazing, um and he's you know,
taught me to get out of my comfort zone and
to be more confident. So I that was like my
big boot camp for the music industry, as I like
to call it. It kind of prepared me for a
lot of things, and then of course I learned even more,
(12:24):
still learning. Um, but yeah, the show was amazing and
taught me so much, and it was like my whole
sixteenth year. I had turned sixteen, went on the Voice one,
did the whole thing, and then after that was done,
I had turned seventeen. So it was unbelievable. What a
sweet sixteen. That's very different from most people that would say,
(12:49):
very very different. Well, it's so interesting with you guys
that are on these TV shows because it happened so quickly.
It seems like like I was reading about your journey
and it's like you won the Voice, you immediately get signed,
then you were least your first single, all right back
to back to back to back. So what do you think?
I mean, obviously that experience is so different from most
new artists because it's just a lot slower. Do you
(13:10):
think or how do you think that that has helped you?
And then maybe how that's hindered you career wise? Oh? Man, Um,
the helped me part, like I said it, you know,
being fresh minded and being young I got I grew
up faster than the norm. Um, and I you know,
(13:32):
they taught me so much and I was very very
shy diary to myself, um, and I feel like it
helped me get to know myself a little bit more
and no, you know, this is actually something I really
want to do. And I knew I loved to sing,
but you know, once I did the show and everything,
I'm like, okay, like I'm getting more of myself and
(13:55):
into myself and I know what I want to sing
and say and and then the other side of it,
I think it did go a little too fast, um
because I immediately got on a record deal, got a
record deal, and immediately, you know, I went to New
York l A And did all these things. And I'm like,
I am still such a baby. I don't know anything.
(14:19):
And you know, from my first record to my second record,
I there was a good chunk of I think three
years where I didn't put out anything, and at the time,
I was very frustrated. But I think that that's exactly
what I needed, because if I would have kept going,
I think my headspace wouldn't have been in the best place,
(14:43):
if that makes sense. So at that break kind of
helped me figure out, you know, sit down for a
second and be like, Okay, this is new Daniel Bradberry
is this is what I want to say. I got
into songwriting for the first time. So yeah, it's it's
been a journey. Um. I think it went a little
(15:03):
too fast, but at the same time I learned more
than ever. So well, you're obviously doing something right. You
were nominated for a c M New Female Artists of
the Year. You've been on tour with some pretty huge
names like It's Miranda Lamber, Brett Aldridge, Thomas Read and
then we mentioned earlier, most recently Kane Brown. What um,
(15:24):
what are we What can we look forward to once
this coronavirus isolation has passed from you? Yeah? Um, I
was working on new music before all of this happened,
was in the recording studio. So a couple of songs
have gotten recorded. Um. So the other half is still
on on weight yeah, and so it's on isolation too. Yeah.
(15:49):
So after all this is over, UM, we're gonna be
really you know, we're gonna sit down and really um
pump out some new music and get things ready for
every buddie. Um so. And at the end of the day,
new music is what we're looking for, especially right now.
You have a new single out though, right it's the
(16:10):
remake of Shallow, which everyone should know from The Star
is Born with the little hottie Parker mccollumn. He was
like hot stuff right now. Yeah, yeah, that was so
much fun. I yeah, the label. I was actually in
Australia UM doing some CDC stuff half vacation because it's
(16:32):
Australia UM, and the label was like, let's do let's
let's release this as a single. And because I had
recorded it and UM with Parker, and we're like, Parker's
voice is perfect for this song. And you know, he
was only in Texas and all my friends knew about him,
(16:53):
everybody knew about him. I'm like, he's going to get
to Nashville, Like he has a bigger voice than this.
And so it all worked out exactly the way it did,
and UM, I'm so happy about it. And then while
I was in Australia, they're like, let's release this as
a single. I'm like, UM, okay, so let's try to
do this. And we did and everybody liked it. It.
(17:17):
You know, it didn't do as much as we thought,
but you know, the fans loved it, and I do
it and every live show, and it's just a fun cover.
I love doing covers and I didn't have any new
music out of my own, so it was kind of
a good time. Yeah. I mean I think if you
don't love that song, like there's something maybe wrong with you.
(17:37):
It's just such a good song, you know. I know. Yeah,
it's a it's a really good country song. Yes, it's
a little lonesome. It's very country music for sure. Well what, um,
tell everyone where they can check you out? And what's
your Instagram handle? Is it just your full name? Yeah,
it's just Danielle Bradberry. Um, I'm on all social media
(17:59):
platform worms. I'm thinking about getting a TikTok. I mean,
everybody else do that? I know this is like the isolation,
definitely the thing in isolation, I would say, oh yeah
for sure, So keep upball on Instagram for that, Okay. Um,
but music is everywhere, Apple Music, Spotify, um, anywhere. So

there's just a lot of things going through my head.
And then when I posted that, um, you know, I

or pinchest boards or you know, be as creative as possible,
um in this time, and you know, do things that
we really haven't been able to get to, like working
out or you know, having time for yourself. Read a book.
(08:02):
That's my challenge right now. I haven't read much and
I want to read more. What are you reading? Um?
This called The Road Back to You? Yeah yeah, yeah,
I read it. So yeah, just life books like that,
and there's just little things and um, you know, like
(08:24):
an example, I You're probably not supposed to, but I

I'm a nine. Oh the peacemaker. Okay, Wow, it's so
interesting that I feel like that now. I'm like, okay,
(09:51):
I know who she is. I got it. Yeah, yeah,
I And it's so true. I you know, some of
those things. I'm like, but when I did the in
your Graham, I'm like, I can so see them. I
never like conflict. I'm like, it's just yeah, yeah, So yeah,
I'm a peachmaker. I love that book. I took his His
(10:14):
His name is Ian Morgan Kron, I think right, But
he has his own angiogram test that's a lot more
extensive than some other ones that I've seen, and it was, Yeah,
it was the most accurate. When I took his test,
I understood my number way more and it all made
so much more sense. I actually got a different number
than I had gotten other test. Yeah. But he that
(10:35):
book is so great. I really recommend it. Yeah, It's
like and then it prints out this whole thing about
how you are at work, how you are in relationships,
how you can get through conflict easier based on your number. Yeah.
Pretty fascinating. Yeah, So I want to talk a little
bit about your journey because obviously you mentioned earlier that
you were on the Voice. You won the Voice in
(10:57):
two thousand thirteen, which was was that season four? Were
back in the day, yes, season four? What was that
experience like? Oh man, I you know, I can say
so many things, um, because I was I went in
the competition very you know, I had no experience at all.
(11:19):
I had I was a baby. I was had just
turned sixteen years old and talk about fresh minded, had
no idea what the industry was like at all. And
I think that helped me in a way because a
lot of my um, the other contestants were very experienced
(11:41):
and had sang before and had been a background background
singer for somebody, and I was just you know, tell
me where to go, tell me what to sing. And
I just learned so much and the people on the
show were so helpful, and uh yeah. My coach was
Blake Shelton and he's I don't want to see is
(12:01):
what you get? He's amazing, um and he's you know,
taught me to get out of my comfort zone and
to be more confident. So I that was like my
big boot camp for the music industry, as I like
to call it. It kind of prepared me for a
lot of things, and then of course I learned even more,
(12:24):
still learning. Um, but yeah, the show was amazing and
taught me so much, and it was like my whole
sixteenth year. I had turned sixteen, went on the Voice one,
did the whole thing, and then after that was done,
I had turned seventeen. So it was unbelievable. What a
sweet sixteen. That's very different from most people that would say,
(12:49):
very very different. Well, it's so interesting with you guys
that are on these TV shows because it happened so quickly.
It seems like like I was reading about your journey
and it's like you won the Voice, you immediately get signed,
then you were least your first single, all right back
to back to back to back. So what do you think?
I mean, obviously that experience is so different from most
new artists because it's just a lot slower. Do you
(13:10):
think or how do you think that that has helped you?
And then maybe how that's hindered you career wise? Oh? Man, Um,
the helped me part, like I said it, you know,
being fresh minded and being young I got I grew
up faster than the norm. Um, and I you know,
(13:32):
they taught me so much and I was very very
shy diary to myself, um, and I feel like it
helped me get to know myself a little bit more
and no, you know, this is actually something I really
want to do. And I knew I loved to sing,
but you know, once I did the show and everything,
I'm like, okay, like I'm getting more of myself and
(13:55):
into myself and I know what I want to sing
and say and and then the other side of it,
I think it did go a little too fast, um
because I immediately got on a record deal, got a
record deal, and immediately, you know, I went to New
York l A And did all these things. And I'm like,
I am still such a baby. I don't know anything.
(14:19):
And you know, from my first record to my second record,
I there was a good chunk of I think three
years where I didn't put out anything, and at the time,
I was very frustrated. But I think that that's exactly
what I needed, because if I would have kept going,
I think my headspace wouldn't have been in the best place,
(14:43):
if that makes sense. So at that break kind of
helped me figure out, you know, sit down for a
second and be like, Okay, this is new Daniel Bradberry
is this is what I want to say. I got
into songwriting for the first time. So yeah, it's it's
been a journey. Um. I think it went a little
(15:03):
too fast, but at the same time I learned more
than ever. So well, you're obviously doing something right. You
were nominated for a c M New Female Artists of
the Year. You've been on tour with some pretty huge
names like It's Miranda Lamber, Brett Aldridge, Thomas Read and
then we mentioned earlier, most recently Kane Brown. What um,
(15:24):
what are we What can we look forward to once
this coronavirus isolation has passed from you? Yeah? Um, I
was working on new music before all of this happened,
was in the recording studio. So a couple of songs
have gotten recorded. Um. So the other half is still
on on weight yeah, and so it's on isolation too. Yeah.
(15:49):
So after all this is over, UM, we're gonna be
really you know, we're gonna sit down and really um
pump out some new music and get things ready for
every buddie. Um so. And at the end of the day,
new music is what we're looking for, especially right now.
You have a new single out though, right it's the
(16:10):
remake of Shallow, which everyone should know from The Star
is Born with the little hottie Parker mccollumn. He was
like hot stuff right now. Yeah, yeah, that was so
much fun. I yeah, the label. I was actually in
Australia UM doing some CDC stuff half vacation because it's
(16:32):
Australia UM, and the label was like, let's do let's
let's release this as a single. And because I had
recorded it and UM with Parker, and we're like, Parker's
voice is perfect for this song. And you know, he
was only in Texas and all my friends knew about him,
(16:53):
everybody knew about him. I'm like, he's going to get
to Nashville, Like he has a bigger voice than this.
And so it all worked out exactly the way it did,
and UM, I'm so happy about it. And then while
I was in Australia, they're like, let's release this as
a single. I'm like, UM, okay, so let's try to
do this. And we did and everybody liked it. It.
(17:17):
You know, it didn't do as much as we thought,
but you know, the fans loved it, and I do
it and every live show, and it's just a fun cover.
I love doing covers and I didn't have any new
music out of my own, so it was kind of
a good time. Yeah. I mean I think if you
don't love that song, like there's something maybe wrong with you.
(17:37):
It's just such a good song, you know. I know. Yeah,
it's a it's a really good country song. Yes, it's
a little lonesome. It's very country music for sure. Well what, um,
tell everyone where they can check you out? And what's
your Instagram handle? Is it just your full name? Yeah,
it's just Danielle Bradberry. Um, I'm on all social media
(17:59):
platform worms. I'm thinking about getting a TikTok. I mean,
everybody else do that? I know this is like the isolation,
definitely the thing in isolation, I would say, oh yeah
for sure, So keep upball on Instagram for that, Okay. Um,
but music is everywhere, Apple Music, Spotify, um, anywhere. So
(18:22):
I'm I'm out there and then we'll check your website,
I guess for tour updates. Thank Brady dot com, daniel
