The Fort Worth native first gained notoriety with his debut album last year, gaining critical acclaim. He was praised by the likes of Rolling Stone, NPR and Billboard. The first single was even featured on Spotify’s ‘Top Ten Most Viral Track’. When asked about his sound, Bridges once said he would like to ‘carry the torch’ for retro soul music. For staying true to his musical inspirations, introducing new audiences to his take on vintage soul music, and for repping DFW with integrity-Bridges most definitely gets a COSIGN from us!
