Good story, Bruno grew up after his parents' divorce "in poverty, in Hawaii" (which I'm still trying to wrap my head around), but was originally born to a musical family and grew up kinda like Michael Jackson, performing since 4. The above link doesn't work very well, he did a very quick demo of his newest hit (which I'm so far unfamiliar with); layed down a drum track, then a synth bass, and added some synth stabs from a classic Roland Jupiter, and my foot was a-tappin'! Will have to grab his new album.
