Flint started learning piano when he was just five years old. He studied music in school, but he didn't think it would be his job until 2009. That's when he met some local musicians in Leeds.

First Songs and Record Label

Flint Bedrock released his very first song, "Dreamer," in 2011. He then re-released it in 2013. This was under his own new record label and artist management company, YSBG Entertainment.

He also worked on growing his music business.

New Music and Global Reach

In January 2017, Flint released his second song, "Can't Bring Me Down." It came with a cool music video. This song helped him get a special agreement called a publishing contract with Gamma Music. This company is based in Russia. Thanks to this deal, his song was shared across Russia and the Baltic States. It was played on radio and TV music channels for many people to hear.
