J-14 recently met up with musician Sam Bradley at a coffee shop in Vancouver, Canada, where we chatted about how he got started in music, being part of the Twilight soundtrack, and his longtime buddy Rob Pattinson.
J-14: Did you always know that you wanted to do music as a career?
Sam: Yes. I think when I had written my first song, I was ready. I was like, "Oh my god! I love this. I want to do this for the rest of my life." It hasn't really become a career until fairly recently, but I've been given a gift, a platform with a phenomenon here that is Twilight. It's a great thing to be attached to.
J-14: How did your song end up on the Twilight soundtrack?
Sam: Rob just played the song at a gig. We wrote it together [in the U.K.] and it was an incomplete song because I came back to Canada -- he took it in his direction and I took it in mine. My version's called "Too Far Gone" and his version is called "Never Think." We've both gone through a few titles for the song, but regardless, we have different interpretations and I think it's extremely cool.
J-14: What was it like hearing your own music in the film?
Sam: Well, the first time I saw it I was with my friend Tom. We were at the L.A. premiere. The whole thing was just nuts! Thousands of people outside, doing the autographs and stuff and then seeing Rob's face on the screen -- it was magical!
J-14: Have you written anything specifically for the sequel?
Sam:There's nothing specific, but I write about a lot of different things so there are things that may fit.
J-14: What has it been like to see Rob go through all of this craziness?
Sam: I think he deals with it like anyone else would. He's a blessed man right now and he's enjoying himself, but it's his job and this is his life that he has chosen.
