BRAD BALSAMA

Brad was born and raised in Clearwater, FL, aside from spending a few years of his childhood in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He started playing guitar consistently around the age of 12 and spent a very heavy amount of his teenage years jamming in different bands and getting onto a few stages in the process. Fast forward about 8 years, and Brad started getting out into the local Tampa Bay scene of Florida, favoring the Metal and Rock circuits.
