Bio

Ricky Braddy received a standing ovation from Paula Abdul after his first performance as part of the final group of 36 contestant.

This shy performer is 25 years old and hails from Nashville, Tennessee. He graduated from Belmont University with a degree in Commercial Vocal Performance. We didin't even know that was possible!

Braddy began singing when he was four years old at his church. His parents have started "The Braddy Bunch" club by wearing shirts with that slogan each time he auditions on the show.
