Career
In 1986, he began his musical career with a bachelor's degree with distinction from the University of Winnipeg.
Bad Brad Roberts and the St. James Rhythm Pigs, Roberts' brother Dan, started playing in a house band for the Blue Note Cafe in Winnipeg under the name Bad Brad Roberts and the St. James Rhythm Pigs. The band became known as The Crash Test Dummies as the band progressed. Roberts began writing his own songs and introducing them to the band while attending college and working as a bartender at The Spectrum Cabaret. He wrote "Superman's Song" after attending a songwriters' workshop with Lyle Lovett at the Winnipeg Folk Festival.
Demos of Roberts' songs appeared in the hands of many music business executives across Canada, and the eccentric bar band that had just started to write original material discovered itself with record deal options that led to the formation of The Crash Test Dummies's rushed, but also well-received debut album, The Ghosts That Haunt Me. The band toured the rest of Canada's provinces, selling over 400,000 copies in Canada alone and also winning a 1991 Juno Award for Group of the Year.
Roberts decided to write God Shuffled His Feet, as he gained more time and resources. This has been the band's best-selling and most well-known album to date, bringing them into the international arena of musical exposure. The album has sold more than six million copies, and has been nominated for three Grammy Awards in 1994. The group has been nominated for eleven other Junos from 1992 to 2000.
A Worm's Life was released in 1996, selling more than one million copies and showcasing a more mature style as the band continued to progress, making this album on their own.
With Give Yourself a Hand, 1999, a combination of electro funk and spontaneous wordplay was introduced. At a writers' workshop, Roberts met Greg Wells and invited him to co-write and assist in recording this album, which was inspired by Roberts' influences and tastes.
Roberts was seriously injured when he crashed his car on a dirt road in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, on September 28, 2000. Marijuana was discovered in his pocket while being loaded into an ambulance and was later charged for possession by the RCMP. When recovering from the crash, he began jamming with locals (The Great Wind Jammers from Argyle, Yarmouth County) and I don't care that you don't bother. This was the first album by the band without the assistance of a major record label.
Puss 'n' Boots was first introduced in October 2003 in Europe and the United States with a European and additional American version.
Oooh La La La!, a Crash Test Dummies book, was released in 2010. In 2011, Mantras' solo release was followed by a single release on an album of Mantras named Rajanaka: Mantra.
