His project "Bromad" immediately became successful, with his debut single being picked up by Australian EDM producers "Bombs Away," which they promptly released on their label Bomb Squad Records.

His follow up single "Hooked" was extremely well received and saw support from names in the Australian Dance Music industry such as "Bombs Away" and "Komes". Since then he has put out multiple professional original productions that have seen both mass coverage and success.

Bromad's signature style of almost talkative bass lines and cyberpunk-esque sound design, seamlessly combined with the familiar sounds, musical structure and tones of funk, jazz and soul music makes for music production that not only fits right at home amongst the bass music scene of electronic music, but also manages to retain the human elements of musicality and humanity that listeners can both strike a chord of familiarity with and have a sense of intimacy as well.

Bromad Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I've been solitary for a while now
A lion roaming on without a pride
The last girl left me branded with a broken heart
And a sense of closure that I'll never find

But the truth is that
I have been biding my time
Watching days passing by

Till I'll call someone mine

I'm cursed or is it self inflicted?
Or is it simply that my options are restricted?

I'm emotionally closed
and I'm straight out of luck
with my tail between my legs
Because I can't open up
And I can't break the ice
From the sub zero sting
Cause I feel too afraid
To try and feel anything

And I still feel traumatized from the last love I was in
I thought heaven sent an angel but turned out she's
Harley Quinn
So If I could open up and if I could let you in
Can you fix me up like you're my medicine

Oh I've been tryna heal for a while now
Dulling what I can with coke and rum
The last girl left me branded with PTSD
So now I feel content with being numb

But right now I'm at home
I feel pathetic and alone
No ringing coming from my phone
I sit aside an empty throne

I'm cursed or is it self inflicted
Or is it simply that my options are restricted

And I still feel traumatized from the last love I was in
I thought heaven sent an angel but turned out she's Harley Quinn

So If I could open up and if I could let you in
Can you fix me up like you're my medicine

Line by Line Meaning

Oh I've been solitary for a while now
I have been alone and isolated for a long period of time

A lion roaming on without a pride
I have been living independently without a support system

The last girl left me branded with a broken heart
My previous relationship ended in heartbreak and emotional damage

And a sense of closure that I'll never find
I am unable to find resolution or acceptance for what happened

But the truth is that
In reality

I have been biding my time
I have been waiting patiently

Watching days passing by
Observing the passage of time

Till I'll call someone mine
Until I can have a meaningful romantic connection with someone

I'm cursed or is it self inflicted?
Am I unlucky or is it my own doing?

Or is it simply that my options are restricted?
Perhaps I don't have many choices available to me

I'm emotionally closed
I have shut myself off emotionally

and I'm straight out of luck
I have no luck at all

with my tail between my legs
Feeling defeated and submissive

Because I can't open up
I am unable to be vulnerable

And I can't break the ice
I am unable to initiate or establish a connection

From the sub zero sting
Due to the extreme fear or pain involved

Cause I feel too afraid
I am overwhelmed by fear

To try and feel anything
I am hesitant to experience emotions

And I still feel traumatized from the last love I was in
I am still deeply affected by the past relationship

I thought heaven sent an angel but turned out she's Harley Quinn
I initially believed my ex-partner was perfect, but they turned out to be problematic

So If I could open up and if I could let you in
If I could be vulnerable and allow you to be a part of my life

Can you fix me up like you're my medicine
Can you heal and mend me like a remedy

Oh I've been tryna heal for a while now
I have been attempting to recover and find healing for some time

Dulling what I can with coke and rum
Trying to numb my pain and emotions with substance abuse

The last girl left me branded with PTSD
My previous partner caused me to develop post-traumatic stress disorder

So now I feel content with being numb
Now, I have accepted and embraced the state of emotional numbness

But right now I'm at home
Currently, I am alone and isolated

I feel pathetic and alone
I feel worthless and isolated

No ringing coming from my phone
No one is reaching out or contacting me

I sit aside an empty throne
I am in a position of powerlessness and insignificance
