Bruno Merz

Born in New Zealand, Bruno spent much of his childhood running wild in the bush, jumping out of classroom windows, and seeking adventure in his own imaginary world. It was there he created his first bands with his siblings playing a range of folk inspired covers and compositions.

His first album, recorded in Den Haag, The Netherlands, was done as a sideline project at home on sub-standard equipment but quickly established him as a singer/songwriter of incredible subtlety and unique talent. A song from this collection was chosen as Starbucks Pick of the Week and the life of a recording artist became inevitable.

From there he went on to record the EP 'Departing from Crowds' in Amsterdam which spread quickly through word of mouth and received critical acclaim.

Now Bruno lives in Canada after spending 10 years in the UK and spends his days writing, touring and recording. His popularity has grown worldwide following the success of his New Zealand recorded album, 'Highways', and 'Whisper Turn', recorded mostly in Canada. Bruno has also written classical compositions for Northern Ballet's production of Tortoise and the Hare, televised by the BBC, short dance compositions and a film score for an award winning documentary.
