With over 20 years, several albums, hundreds of live shows, and more under my belt, I live, breathe, and know music intimately. I have contributed my skills on guitar, bass, vocals, arranging and composing to a wide variety of artists in genres including pop, rock, hip hop, soundtrack, classical etc. As a professional, I can make your music shine.
I have been performing, writing, producing, composing, arranging, and creating music for over 20 years. I have a vast knowledge of all aspects of music, and I know what it takes to turn an idea into a hit.
My services include professional recording of guitar, bass, ukulele, piano/synth, and vocals as well as production, arrangement, editing, engineering and mastering. My contributions have been featured on several singles and albums, some have even made it on the charts.
With a keen sense of musicality, a scholastic knowledge of music theory and composition, and a naturally tuned ear, I can elevate any piece of music into the stratosphere. Nothing is a challenge for me, and if it is, I welcome it. I would love nothing more than to use my skills to help other artists be the very best they can be. I am available for live sessions as well as recordings, and can take existing music and turn it into a pro-level piece. Let's turn your music into something really special!

check_circleVerifiedBruce is a pleasure to work with; multi-talented, friendly and professional with creative ideas and great communication. Very client centric approach, really listens and encourages feedback. Excellent collaborator
Bruce was fantastic to work with. He was my producer for my band’s first single. Excellent communication, over the top quality, tons of hard work, and very reasonable on price. ESPECIALLY for what I got! Top tier radio quality production. The guy knows his stuff. Big 10/10 will be using again!
Bruce is a musical genius! I just started a new podcast called Pillow Fright and when editing the first episode, realized I didn't have the right music to underscore it. We thought it would be good to have original music we could use indefinitely and that's where Bruce came in – right away he understood our nostalgic 80s horror vibe and what we were going for, I couldn't be happier with the end result. He is very easy to work with, listens, and has a great ear and intuition for what a project/client is going for. Could not recommend him enough!
Bruce arranged and performed music for my wedding and did such an amazing job!!! He was super professional, communicated well and most of all, was incredibly talented!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better musician to play our ceremony. If you’re thinking about hiring him do yourself a favor and do it!!
Bruce is an amazingly talented musician. I asked him to write three songs for my podcast, and not only did he deliver radio quality tunes, but it legit sounds like he was having fun while recording them. The energy is insane, and his talents do not go unrecognized. Beyond exceptional and beyond my expectations.
I have known Bruce since his high school band days. He was very talented even then. However his talent has multiplied many times since. Bruce and I recently wrote a rock song for one of my Japanese artists who is very famous. Bruce made the track totally by himself. Drum programming, real bass, and many layers of guitars including a solo. Everything sounds great! Bruce and I worked on the arrangement together. He was very easy to work with, came up with great ideas, his studio and atmosphere was very comfortable and professional. Try him, you won’t be disappointed!
I've worked/played with Bruce in various bands and projects over the past 15 years and he has has proven himself time and time again to be an incredibly talented and creative songwriter and performer. Most recently he arranged and recorded several songs for my wedding, including the song that my wife walked down the aisle to, and the song that served as our first dance - he was literally the soundtrack to our wedding - and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Looking forward to playing with him again in the future and can't recommend him enough!
I've worked on numerous records with Bruce over many years. Count on him to deliver quickly and with top quality, whether you need a session player, a vocalist, a songwriter or producer. He will deliver on all counts for you!
I have used Bruce's vocal skills in many songs and commercial jingles for clients here at my studio. Every single time we have him do work remotely it comes back 100% amazing and professional. I normally get tracks back from people and have to spend a hours making things a little more pro with tuning, timing, editing and such...but not with Bruce's tracks. He's seriously an amazing musician, vocalist and producer for just about anything you can imagine. You be hard pressed to find a more committed person to making amazing music and total quality tracks.
Five stars for Bruce! I'm a producer/songwriter with Redbull Records and Bruce is the go to when I need the perfect session musician. Very versatile, locks into the vision and always adds that "whoah" moment to the track.
