Stephen Bruner, better known as Thundercat, is one of the music industry's most eclectic and prolific musicians. From skittering fusion and squelching funk to synth-laden electro, one thing remains constant in his music - his virtuosic bass playing. He's a true master of the instrument and it provides the backbone for his diverse sound.
On Thursday, 29 May (8PM), the genre-spanning bassist, singer, and producer will be performing live in Singapore at the Esplanade Concert Hall as part of Esplanade's Mosaic Music Series. Tickets start from $62.40 and can be purchased here.
As a solo artist, his critically acclaimed albums such as 2013's Apocalypse, 2017's Drunk (which featured hits like 'Them Changes' and 'Walk On By') and 2020's It Is What It Is (which won the GRAMMY Award for Best Progressive R&B Album) have garnered numerous prizes and universal praise.
As a collaborator, he's best known for working with greats such as Flying Lotus, Erykah Badu, Kamasi Washington, N.E.R.D., Stevie Wonder, Gorillaz, Mac Miller, and so much more. Most notably, he was a major contributor on Kendrick Lamar's game-changing 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly, a project that earned him a GRAMMY for Best Rap/Sung Performance for his work on the track 'These Walls'.
A seasoned performer known for his mean bass playing and outré stagewear, Thundercat continually proves that he's as impressive in concert as he is in the studio. Don't miss your chance to catch Thundercat live this May.
