Sam Bradley first exploded onto the scene thanks to the song he wrote with his longtime buddy, Rob Pattinson, making it onto the Twilight soundtrack as "Never Think."
Now he's on tour with Justin Nozuka through December 3 -- and he's still a loyal pal to Rob (look at how he cleverly covered everyone BUT Robby P. on the J-14 cover when we sat down with him Caffè Artigiano in Vancouver, Canada).
Check out our video where he shares one juicy secret with J-14 exclusively...
J-14 recently met up with musician Sam Bradley at a coffee shop in Vancouver, Canada, where we chatted about how he got started in music, being part of the Twilight soundtrack, and his longtime buddy Rob Pattinson.
J-14: Did you always know that you wanted to do music as a career?
Sam: Yes. I think when I had written my first song, I was ready. I was like, "Oh my god! I love this. I want to do this for the rest of my life." It hasn't really become a career until fairly recently, but I've been given a gift, a platform with a phenomenon here that is Twilight. It's a great thing to be attached to.
J-14: How did your song end up on the Twilight soundtrack?
Sam: Rob just played the song at a gig. We wrote it together [in the U.K.] and it was an incomplete song because I came back to Canada -- he took it in his direction and I took it in mine. My version's called "Too Far Gone" and his version is called "Never Think." We've both gone through a few titles for the song, but regardless, we have different interpretations and I think it's extremely cool.
J-14: What was it like hearing your own music in the film?
Sam: Well, the first time I saw it I was with my friend Tom. We were at the L.A. premiere. The whole thing was just nuts! Thousands of people outside, doing the autographs and stuff and then seeing Rob's face on the screen -- it was magical!
J-14: Have you written anything specifically for the sequel?
Sam:There's nothing specific, but I write about a lot of different things so there are things that may fit.
J-14: What has it been like to see Rob go through all of this craziness?
Sam: I think he deals with it like anyone else would. He's a blessed man right now and he's enjoying himself, but it's his job and this is his life that he has chosen.

While fans around the world were wishing Rob Pattinson a happy birthday in every language, Rob was busy working on The Twilight Saga: New Moon on his big day.
How does the most-coveted Cullen celebrate his 23rd birthday? With a night out with his closest buds in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he's filming.
Our friends in Canada tell us that Rob hit up Glowbal in the Yaletown district of Vancouver with just a few of his closest pals. In fact, the group of four included Kristen Stewart and J-14's new pal Sam Bradley!
Later on in the night, other Twilight vampires emerged... including Ashley Greene and Jamie Campbell Bower. Tons of fans were waiting outside to wish Rob a happy birthday (in the rain!). And with his trademark black hoodie over his head, Robby P. posed for tons of photos and signed autographs!
At the end of the night, Rob hopped into a cab with a few pals, including Kristen Stewart, our sources tell us!
Rob's old pal Sam Bradley celebrated Rob's birthday with him...
Check out the video footage of Rob and Kristen at the Sam Bradley concert! You can spot them at around 30 seconds in: Kristen really gets into it and Rob looks like he's having a blast at his friend's concert! We don't blame them - we can't get enough of Sam's music either... or his cute British accent!
J-14 was hanging out in Vancouver, Canada, this weekend... and decided to check out Sam Bradley's show at Richard's on Richards. Sam is best known for his hit song, "Never Think" -- yup, the one from the chart-topping Twilight movie soundtrack performed by Rob Pattinson. He co-wrote the song with his pal Rob.
J-14 is the only mag to bring you up close and personal with Rob and Kristen! On Saturday night, we were only a few feet away from the Twilight stars at Sam Bradley and The Men's concert in Vancouver!
We had the perfect view of Rob's silhouette in a doorway hidden just out of view of the main audience. We were facing each other about 40 feet apart with the stage between us. Kristen later sat down right by the stage.
Rob's smile NEVER left his face the entire time - he's so fun-loving and playful - super-open and friendly! He was joking around and chatting with everyone. And he does a mean air-guitar! He had on a black hoodie pulled over his head, yet his famous hair was sticking out of it in the front.
Kristen was super into the show, too! She was screaming that she wanted to buy the band's t-shirt!
The audience was hoping Rob would come on and do "Never Think," which he co-wrote with Sam for the Twilight soundtrack, but it never happened. In fact, Sam did another encore so that Rob and Kristen could leave without getting swarmed by fans!
