About Thundercat
Beginning of the Career
Stephen spent the 2000s trying to become the go-to bassist for almost every performer of black vanguard music. It is quite possible to hear his nimble, syncopated, groove-heavy basslines in the works of Sa-Ra, Erykah Badu, Flying Lotus, etc. When Stephen was a teenager, he got his first job, becoming a part of the L.A.-based punk band “Suicidal Tendencies” instead of Robert Trujillo, who began performing with Metallica. During live concerts, the young Stephen showed flair and dexterity, performing the famous Trujillo's three-finger riffs via his thumb.Cooperation
Thanks to his kinship and attraction to the L.A.-led movement of genre-mixing black music, Stephen started cooperating with some of the creators. The most worth noting work is “The Cell”. At this period of time, he played live with the conductor Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, the head of the “Suite for Ma Dukes” orchestra, a contemporary group that revisited J Dilla's Donuts.Debut
The most outstanding and fruit-bearing musical relations Bruner has established with DJ, producer, instrumentalist Flying Lotus, for whom he made bass and vocals for “Cosmogramma” in 2010. Lotus was a producer of Bruner’s debut, “The Golden Age of Apocalypse” (20011), issued under his pseudonym Thundercat. Stephen’s second disc, “Apocalypse” (2013), was written down in cooperation with Austin Peralta's passing.Thundercat tour dates
