Astro

Brian Bradley (born August 26, 1996) known by his stage name Astro, is from Brownsville, New York, where he currently lives. He has said that "Astro" is short for "the astronomical kid"[3] He impressed the judges at his audition in Newark, New Jersey by performing his original composition "Stop Looking at My Mom". It was described as Brilliant because he made the rap himself and he performed like an actual rapper.[4] He landed in the bottom two on November 17 with Stacy Francis, but was saved by judges L.A. Reid, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell. He was eliminated on December 1, along with Drew, after landing in the bottom 3 with Drew and Marcus Canty and receiving the fewest amount of votes. He came in 7th place overall. However later on 50 Cent came on to rap and Astro came out and started rapping with the rapper. Weeks after being eliminated, Astro was featured on the UK single version of Cher Lloyds "Want U Back" and also signed a record deal with Epic Records who he is expected to release his debut album through. He then also starred in an episode of CBSs hit show Person of Interest. On 29 October, Astro released his first song called "Deadbeat" which talks about what his dad had told him about life.
