Bradley Miller, known artistically as cktrl, is a British multi-instrumentalist and producer. cktrl stands for "Can’t Keep to Reality"
Miller was born to Montserratian parents and was brought up in Lewisham. With music having been a part of his life for as long as he can remember, as a child he learned the clarinet and saxophone through a free music service funded by the local council - “my clarinet fully belongs to the Borough of Lewisham”. Miller taught himself production and worked at a record store and as a DJ.
Born from a desire to change the narrative around contemporary Black British music, the boundary-pushing musician aims to prioritise the art of bona fide musicianship. In 2022 he released the highly acclaimed and anticipated EP ‘Yield’ described as a celestial body of work that harkens back to the pre-electric age of modal jazz while simultaneously pulling in elements from the disciplines of classical and baroque music. cktrl is currently on a curated UK tour playing intimate venues such as London's Union Chapel.
cktrl has been featured in highly regarded publications and platforms such as British Vogue, Dazed, CRACK Magazine, Resident Advisor, NOTION, Harper's Bazaar and ES Magazine. Elsewhere, throughout his career, cktrl has been recognised and heralded by fashion and film VIPs as he firmly embeds himself within the black cultural renaissance emerging here in Britain. Acquiring a global network of creatives that include the late Virgil Abloh, Bianca Saunders, Tremaine Emory, Saul Nash, Maximilian Davis, Ahluwalia, Stephen Isaac Wilson, Sean Frank, Campbell Addy, Ib Kamara and Jenn Nkiru who secured him a cameo in Beyoncé’s ground-breaking film ‘Black Is King’.
Recent fashion brand collaborations have included Zegna, Off-White, Paul Smith, Tommy Hilfiger, New Balance and Zalaando. A highlight of 2022 was undoubtedly being asked to perform under the Giza pyramids in Egypt for Dior X Denim Tears FW 23 presentation.
