Brad Kella | From Foster Care to Fame #29

Brad Kella’s story is one of heart, hardship and hope. Raised in foster care, his life changed the moment his foster mum bought him a keyboard. Now, he’s played with Lang Lang, performed at the Philharmonic, and uses music to express everything he couldn’t put into words. Brad joins us to talk about the journey, the stereotypes, and the people who believed in him when he couldn’t believe in himself. A powerful conversation about identity, creativity and what it means to finally feel seen.
