Meridian Lights is Bradley Valentin and Yohimbe Sampson. They grew up creating and performing music in their homes with their families in their Bed-Stuy neighborhood as a part of celebrating the greatest moments of life, maintaining optimism during its trials and music of course, served as an outlet for their own self expression.  

A neighborhood party that turned into a jam session where self-taught Yohimbe since a teen, grabbed a guitar and nobody dared to sing, led Brad to step in, and they have not stopped playing together since.
Bradley; writing since a pre-teen, writes everything from short stories to poetry. He began singing in his mother’s church choir around the same time.  

“At home I was introduced to many different genres and I always paid attention to the vocalist and their performance,” says Bradley. Their self-titled EP “Meridian Lights”  fuses soul, world and electronica into an indie pop song set that touches on trial, optimism, love and some baby-making rhythms.
