"A post mortem is yet to determine the cause of death," a NSW Police spokeswoman said in a statement.

Originally from Sydney, Bradley reportedly moved to Byron Bay around six years ago and studied studio engineering at SAE Institute.

He was influential in the local dance scene and launched artist management and events company, Atypical, which included names such as Robina, Eva J and Russell Smith. 

Tributes have flowed for Bradley since the news of his passing, including radio station Bay FM, where Bradley presented his own weekly show.
