Bru-C

For Nottingham-based rapper Bru-C, music has always been a point of fascination
and expression. “[Music] has been around me from a super, super young age,” he
tells me. Born Josh Bruce, Bru-C was first raised in the suburbs of Derbyshire in
Long Eaton, and was encouraged to explore the artform and all that it could offer
instantaneously. “I can remember having a keyboard in my bedroom. My sister and I
would run back and forth between the bedrooms, playing with various keys and
sound effects, but also rapping along to those beats later on,” he recalls. At four
years old, he felt the flair that music and rhythm could offer, but also the communal
impacts of it too.
