Originally from a small town in South-West, OH – founder, drummer and producer of BRUNS & BACHÉ – Jason Lee Bruns’ passion for drumming took him from buying his first drum set with paper route earnings in 6th grade; to section leader of his high school drum line; to Miami University on a full music scholarship; and to USC’s Jazz Studies program.
 
Though Bruns has been based in Los Angeles he’s often traveling the globe in search of new rhythmic inspiration. Bruns draws on these musical experiences to write, arrange, and create drum parts for BRUNS & BACHÉ.

He’s self-produced twelve albums – including two BRUNS & BACHÉ recordings that charted in the top-10 (Root Music Report and College Music Journal). He holds a B.M. degree in Classical Percussion and M.M. degrees in Jazz Studies (USC) and Music Production (Berklee).
 
Notable projects include Beck’s Sound & Vision (session percussionist), Game of Thrones (drummer for season 3 commercial), Louis Price (house band), and Liane Carroll (house band). Bruns is the founder and director of the Campbell Hall World Music and Recording Arts programs, is an Avid Certified Instructor (ACI), and has been a voting member of the Grammy Awards since 2015.
