About the artist
Thundercat
Stephen Lee Bruner, better known by his stage name Thundercat, is not your average jazz-funk bass virtuoso. With his iconic upright bass in hand, Thundercat effortlessly weaves together elements of jazz, R&B, electronic, and even a touch of anime references in his music. Hailing from Los Angeles, Thundercat is a frequent collaborator of Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar, with his distinctive basslines adding depth and groove to their tracks. His solo work showcases his unique ability to combine technically complex bass playing with a playful sense of humour, creating music that is as intellectually stimulating as it is danceable. Thundercat's latest album, "It Is What It Is," is a psychedelic journey through love, loss, and self-discovery. Tracks like "Black Qualls" and "Dragonball Durag" showcase his signature blend of cosmic funk and introspective lyricism, while guest features from the likes of Childish Gambino and Steve Lacy add an extra layer of smoothness to the mix. But don't let Thundercat's laid-back persona fool you – he is a true maestro of his craft, effortlessly sliding up and down the fretboard with the precision of a surgeon and the soul of a seasoned jazz musician. Whether he's singing about heartbreak or his favourite anime series, Thundercat's music is guaranteed to leave you grooving and contemplating the mysteries of the universe, all at the same time. So grab your bass, put on your best Dragonball Durag, and get ready to embark on a musical journey like no other with Thundercat.
