Bruno Major (born 15 July 1988)[2] is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. His debut album A Song for Every Moon was released in 2017.

Career

On 21 January 2014, Major released the four-song EP Live on Virgin Records, where he worked with producer Ethan Johns before being released from the label.[3][4] In August 2016, Major announced that he would write, record and release one song every month for a year, which resulted in the 12-song R&B album A Song for Every Moon, released on 3 November 2017.[2][5]

In the same month, he went on The Trio Tour in six cities around the US and Europe.[4] In 2018, he embarked on a tour across North America, followed by a UK arena tour opening for Sam Smith, a headline tour of Europe and the UK, and a headline tour of the US.[5][6][7] He appeared on The Late Late Show on 22 February 2018, in his first television performance, performing his song "Easily".[2][5] In June 2018, he performed at his first US festival, Bonnaroo Music Festival.[5] In September and October, he toured Asia for the first time.

On 19 February 2019, Major released a revised version of "Old Fashioned" from his Live EP. Following that, he released a string of five more singles over the year, until 20 March 2020, when Major announced his second full length album, To Let a Good Thing Die, which was released on 5 June 2020. The album featured producer Finneas as a co-writer for "The Most Beautiful Thing".

"Easily" was certified gold in Australia in July 2021.[8] His 2020 single "Nothing" reached number 63 on the Irish Singles Chart in November 2021.[9]

On 5 May 2023, Major released the single "We Were Never Really Friends", which was followed by his third album's title track, "Columbo", on 23 May. Columbo was released on 14 July.

Personal life

Major is originally from Northampton, England.[6] He moved to London in 2011.[1] Originally a jazz musician, he began his career as a session guitarist at age 16 for artists including Lalah Hathaway. Major also studied for a degree in jazz at Leeds Conservatoire (formally Leeds College of Music).[7][10] Major has cited guitarist Joe Pass and songwriter Cole Porter as influences.

He is the older brother of Dominic 'Dot' Major of London Grammar.
