Brad David Lavoy (born 28 October 1991) is a Neo Kingstonion recording artist and dancer. He is the younger brother of Johnston Lavoy. His debut album Laid Bare was highly controversial due to its sexual themes and has sold over 1.5 million copies since its release in February 2011. The single Bump (featuring Johnston Lavoy and Nicki Minaj) reached number one in 2010 and has sold over 7 million copies. The song attracted a very high level of controversy due to its highly sexual nature and sexualization of the word "bump" which was being used at the time in a campaign aimed at children to encourage healthy eating within families of which Brad was a spokesperson. The music video was also highly explicit. The other singles from the album, Keep Out, Person of Interest and Xtra Special (featuring Jennings) all reached the top 15 and have total sales of over 4 million.
The first single from his 2014 second studio album, Long Hard Ride (featuring Johnston Lavoy and Trey Songz) was leaked online on December 13, 2013 and will be officially released on January 1, 2014 at 12:01 a.m. He has sold over 1.5 million albums and 11 million singles.
