Thundercat is a cornerstone of the Brainfeeder label having released “The Golden Age of Apocalypse” (2011), “Apocalypse” (2013), and “Drunk” (2017) which completed his transition from virtuoso bassist to bonafide star and cemented his reputation as a unique voice transcending genre. 

His 2020 album “It Is What It Is” won Best Progressive R&B Album at 63rd GRAMMY Awards and features musical contributions from his friends Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, Steve Lacy, Steve Arrington, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole, Pedro Martins and Zack Fox. The record was produced by Thundercat and his longtime partner Flying Lotus who was GRAMMY-nominated in “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical” for his work on the album.

In 2019 Thundercat was invited by legendary jazz institution Blue Note in New York to play a 14 show residency over the space of 6 days. Special guests for the residency included Reggie Watts, Zack Fox and Hannibal Buress. Other live highlights for Bruner have included a duet with Ariana Grande at Adult Swim Festival 2020, a special drive-in show at the Rose Bowl in LA (2020), a US tour alongside his friend Anderson .Paak (2019), an appearance at the Nile Rodgers curated Meltdown Festival held at the Southbank Centre, London (2019); and previous festival highlights for Thundercat include Glastonbury, Coachella, Primavera Sound, Sónar, Fuji Rock, Newport Jazz Festival, Primavera Sound and Governors Ball. One memorable sold out show at New York’s Irving Plaza in 2017 featured Dave Chappelle making an impromptu appearance as his hype man.

Thundercat was “at the creative epicenter” of the 21st century’s most influential hip-hop album Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly”, and he won a GRAMMY for his collaboration on the track ‘These Walls’. In 2018 Thundercat and Flying Lotus composed an original score for an episode of Golden Globe and Emmy award winning TV series “Atlanta” (created and written by Donald Glover).

Bruner found his instrument at the age of 4. That made him a late-bloomer in the house of Ronald Bruner, Sr., who drummed with the Temptations among others. His first bass was a black Harmony, and he practiced to the Ninja Turtles soundtrack until pops played him Jaco Pastorius. He joined thrash legends Suicidal Tendencies as a teenager, and has spent road and studio time with everyone from Stanley Clarke and Herbie Hancock to Leon Ware, N.E.R.D., Travis Scott and Erykah Badu. Most recently he collaborated with HAIM on their track ‘3am’ (2021) and with Ty Dolla $ign on his 2020 album alongside Anderson .Paak and Kanye West on ‘Track 6’.

The name Thundercat is a reference to the cartoon he’s loved since childhood and an extension of his wide-eyed, vibrant, often superhuman approach to his craft. In 2020 things came full circle when Bruner voiced a character (and penned a song) named "Grune the Destroyer" in Cartoon Network’s Thundercats Roar animated series.

THE BEST.
"There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it's the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson."  No truer words can be spoken of Louisiana recording artist, producer, writer, and entrepreneur, Fiend.  Already boasting two gold records, a Grammy nomination, a successful independent record label, a lucrative management company, a boutique clothing line and a burgeoning film company, Fiend continues to drive his career to new heights.

When asked how Fiend maintains the drive and passion required to fuel his sustained career success, his reply is straight to the point.  "I do this to provide for my family because I have to.  Secondly, I must advance my legacy as an artist, musician and entrepreneur.  I want to push the envelope and show the world that there are still artists out here who can record cutting edge music that is rooted in the past, standing in the present while branching out into the future.”  It is this sentiment that has taken this Hollygrove, New Orleans native to unprecedented heights for over twenty years.

Fiend began his career as a teenager, landing a gig free-styling on New Orleans’s hottest radio station, Q-93 FM.  Fiend quickly became a voice of New Orleans, and was signed to a local record label where he released his debut LP,The Baddest Mutha Alive.  The record instantly became a regional classic and is still a record that is still highly sought after by collectors of New Orleans hip hop. Regrettably, Fiend’s tenure with his first label was cut short when the label folded, leaving Fiend without a home until 1997, when he inked a game-changing deal with Master P’s No Limit Records.
 
During his tenure with No Limit Records, Fiend appeared on over 20 gold and platinum No Limit albums including his two solo full length releases, the There’s One in Every Family, and Street Life.  Both albums achieved Gold status, and vaulted Fiend into the spotlight as one of the most influential Southern rappers in the game. 

In addition to his talents as a recording artist, Fiend also contributed writing credits for various No Limit acts including, Master P.  After years of continued success as an artist, writer and developer of talent for No Limit Records, Fiend felt that a major change was necessary.  With multiple options on the table, Fiend opted to leave No Limit to take full creative control of his career and create his own independent record label, FE Entertainment.  FE Entertainment provided the opportunity Fiend needed to expand his musical horizons and reap the full financial benefits of his work.  The loyal fanbase that Fiend had built afforded him the opportunity to build his own empire, and begin to foster the careers of other around him. “After leaving No Limit, it was only right to start a company to further my art for me and others.  The experience I had gained as an artist put me in a position to be able to develop new acts while still maintaing control of my own future.”
Under the banner of FdE Entertainment, Fiend released five albums totaling over 300,000 units sold independently.  Chief among his indie releases is the LP, The Headbussas Vol. 1, a famed collaboration project featuring Fiend with 3-6 Mafia’s DJ Paul and Juicy J).  On the shoulders of the the lead single from the record, "That’s How It Happen to Em", the record sold over 190,000 Soundscan units independently.  His underground compilation projects, Can I Burn Vol. 1 and Can I Burn Vol. 2, have both sold over 40,000 Soundscan units and counting.  The Go Hard or Go Home compilation introduced Corner Boy P, a known member of the Jetlife family, to the world and the subsequent LP, The Addiction, garnered Fiend accolades as a producer.  

After independently selling hundreds of thousands of records worldwide, Fiend landed a publishing deal with Mike Caren of Atlantic Records. Caren immediately introduced Fiend to producer Jim Jonsin and the two wrote Twister’s hit single entitled “Girl Tonight.”, which landed on the top ten on the Billboard Singles charts.  Fiend also earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Single for Lil Wayne’s Don’t Get It (Misunderstood) from the classic LP, The Carter III.  Fiend continued to work with Caren and Atlantic Records as A&R and a writer for Atlantic where, according to Fiend, he “discovered a lot of talent and made a lot people wealthy.”


“He is just an honest, driven, compassionate dude who cares for the people around him.  We share the same ideas and drive and have committed to continue to grow and take over the world together.  And that’s what we’re doing...”
