Still from Brian “Astro” Bradley’s New Film Earth to Echo ~ Relativity Media
Brooklyn’s Brian “Astro” Bradley stole America’s hearts with his performance dedicated to his Jamaican American mom Cascia Thomspon, “Stop Looking at My Mom!” At 15, he appeared on the X Factor and introduced the earworm, prompting all kids who thought their mom was beautiful (and that is ALL kids) to immediately jump on board with the lyrics.

His pre-show footage and energetic performance made viewers and judges wonder where he got such confidence at such a young age.
The hip hop community wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this hip hop phenom has roots that went back to Jamaica like hip hop pioneers DJ Kool Herc and MC Heavy D.

At 17, he is no longer signed to Epic Records, but has created several “mix tapes” for his fans (@AstronomicalKid on Twitter) and has jumped into acting, appearing on Person of Interest and now Earth to Echo which opens on July 2, 2014.

Synopsis: Tuck, Munch and Alex are a trio of inseparable friends whose lives are about to change. Their neighborhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys begin receiving a strange series of signals on their phones.
Convinced something bigger is going on, they team up with another school friend, Emma, and set out to look for the source of their phone signals. What they discover is something beyond their wildest imaginations: a small alien who has become stranded on Earth. In need of their help, the four friends come together to protect the alien and help him find his way home. This journey, full of wonder and adventure, is their story, and their secret. ~ Relativity Media
