About the Artist

Stephen Bruner, better known as Thundercat, has carved a unique niche in the contemporary music landscape. Hailing from Los Angeles, his musical journey began at a young age, mastering the bass guitar under the tutelage of his father, Ronald Bruner Sr., a renowned jazz drummer. This rich musical heritage is evident in his sophisticated compositions and astonishing technical prowess. Thundercat's distinctive style, often characterised by his lightning-fast, melodic basslines played on a six-string bass, has made him a sought-after collaborator for a diverse range of artists, including Kendrick Lamar (most notably on the Grammy-winning album 'To Pimp a Butterfly'), Flying Lotus, Kamasi Washington, and even the Red Hot Chili Peppers. His solo work, such as the critically acclaimed albums 'Drunk' and 'It Is What It Is', showcases his ability to blend introspective lyricism with complex musical arrangements, exploring themes of love, loss, anime, and feline appreciation with a disarming blend of humour and profound emotion. His live performances are legendary for their improvisational spirit and the sheer joy they exude, transforming each show into a unique and unforgettable event.
