Bruce began playing the guitar in 1976  and quickly blossomed into a rhythm and lead guitarist for a southern gospel quartet. During his travels with the quartet, Bruce honed his talent and began songwriting and composing.  His skill on the guitar, to include the bass guitar, took on a new level as he developed the core music foundation for the group.  After graduating from high school, Bruce went on to college and continued developing his artistic skill.  Bruce subsequently joined the military and put the guitar on hold, but eventually came back to his love for playing and started gigging with a group of talented guys in Dayton, Ohio.  This was the beginning of Bruce's calling to jazz!

In 1997, Bruce decided that I wanted to attempt to record solo. One of his best friends provided the inspiration and foundation, but recording was an aspiration Bruce had as a child when he first picked up the guitar in 1976!  Bruce finally shifted his musical interest to smooth jazz in 2002 while living in England. He subsequently moved to Germany and released his first major jazz project entitled, "Special Moments".   This CD sold out at a local CD store in Germany in an amazing 6 days! His release received major reviews from jazz portals around the world and was also reviewed by vh1.com! Bruce then released a second project entitled "Aesthetic Melodology" and caught the ear of hundreds of listeners around the globe! Bruce then moved to S. Korea during the beginnings of his third  and eventually released "Destinations" upon his return to Germany!  Destinations reached many smooth jazz lovers and became Bruce's signature release!  Bruce's desire to release yet another CD entitled, "After Dark"  became a favorite among jazz lovers around the globe, literally!  His online followers and new fans are still purchasing and enjoying the After Dark CD in which Bruce recorded and mastered in Germany.  Bruce's latest release, "After Dark Part II" is a continuation of the After Dark CD project and is now available!

Bruce has performed in many venues to include a solo concert for a Hurricane Katrina fundraiser in Brunnsum, Netherlands and has opened for major acts to include comedian, Rich Little!  Bruce is a solo artist who performs all of his music!  His inspiration comes from God and feels blessed to be able to perform! His favorite guitar icons are Norman Brown, Paul Jackson Jr , the late Wayman Tisdale, Marcus Miller and Fourplay! More to come from this outstanding guitarist
