October 19 1984, Los Angeles, CA, USA) is a virtuoso bassist, composer, producer and singer. Born into a family of musicians, he and his brother were part of legendary thrash punks Suicidal Tendencies (since 16 years of age) - Bruner has collaborated with many, including jams with Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller and Stanley Clarke.

“I do believe that hip-hop can be the new jazz, and I’m helping create that”, Bruner said in an interview to Bass Player, in 2008.

He is part of the new generation of jazz literate, hip-hop loving instrumentalists who can play beyond traditional limits - a mutant jazz cat - and that’s how 'Thundercat' (a monicker he chose), suits him well (even if it’s purely the result of an unhealthy cartoon addiction dating back to childhood).

Thundercat Lyrics

Hi, hello
Is anybody there?
Let me know if you can hear me
It feels so cold
And so alone
Just need some sort of sun

And I know, I know (I know)
We're not alone
But it's hard to tell

Just let me know
So I can go
Because I can feel a pulse
Breathe, please breathe
Breathe for me
Breathe for me

Is it time to go?
Go and start the show
Somewhere lost in space
