Born in 1947 in Southend-On-Sea, England, Bridgen moved to Toronto at age 19 to pursue a career in graphic art.

When Graham died in 1991, Brigden and Pustilnik banded together with 13 other BGP employees to buy 90 percent of the company, leaving 10 percent for Graham's two sons. In the early 2000s, they sold the business, and Brigden founded MJJ Management, with Satriani as his only client.
