ʻO Thundercat kahi bassist ʻAmelika kaulana, mea mele, a me ka mea mele. Ua uhi ka nalu mua o ka kaulana i ka mea pena i kona lilo ʻana i ʻāpana o Suicidal Tendencies. I kēia lā ua pili ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mele nāna e hoʻokani i ka ʻuhane o ka lā ma ka honua.
Nānā: ʻO Soul kahi ʻano mele no ʻAmelika-ʻAmelika. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ke ʻano ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka makahiki 1950 ma muli o ke mele a me nā blues.
No nā makana, i ka makahiki 2016 ua lanakila ka mele These Walls i ka makana Grammy. Ma hope o 5 mau makahiki, ua koho hou ʻia ʻo ia no kahi Grammy i ka Best Progressive R&B Album category no kāna album studio hou.
'Ōleloʻo Thundercat,ʻo ke kumu o kāna mau mele he mau manaʻo no ka papa o ka leo leo ʻole; ʻO nā manaʻo i komo i loko o ke ola o kēlā me kēia kanaka, akā ʻaʻole i loaʻa mau i ka nānā pono.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio o Stephen Lee Bruner
ʻO ʻOkakopa 19, 1984 ka lā hānau o ka mea pena. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Steven Lee Bruner (inoa maoli o ka mea pena) ma Los Angeles. Ma ke ala, ua hānai ʻia ʻo ia i loko o kahi ʻohana primordially noʻonoʻo, ka mea i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ke koho ʻana i ka ʻoihana.
ʻO Ronald Bruner Sr. (ka makua kāne o ka mea hīmeni) hoʻokani i ka pahu me ke akamai. I kekahi manawa ua helu ʻia ʻo ia i nā hui o The Temptations a me Diana Ross. Hoʻokani pinepine ʻia ke mele ma ka hale Bruner. Eia kekahi, ua nānā ʻo Stephen i ka hana a kona makuakāne. Mai kona wā kamaliʻi, ua hoʻomehana ʻo ia i ka moeʻuhane e lilo i mea hoʻokani pila.
Ma ke ala, ʻo nā kaikunāne ʻekolu o Stephen he mau koho Grammy a lanakila paha. Hoʻokani ke kaikuaʻana i ka The Stanley Clarke Band, ʻo ke kaikaina he papa keyboard mua no ka Pūnaewele.
Ua hiki mai ka lanakila liʻiliʻi mua iā Stephen i kona wā ʻōpio. A laila he ʻāpana ʻo ia o kahi hui liʻiliʻi i ʻike ʻia. Ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ma hope o kona kaikunāne, ua komo ʻo ia i ka Suicidal Tendencies.
ʻO ke ala hana o Thundercat
Mai ka makahiki 2011 ua hoʻonoho ʻo Stephen iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he mea pena kiʻi solo. Ma kahi o ka manawa like, ua hana ʻia ka mua o ka LP The Golden Age of Apocalypse. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia e Sean J. O'Connell o LA Weekly i kā lākou papa inoa "Top 5 LA Jazz Albums of 2011". Ma keʻano laulā, ua hoʻokipa maikaʻiʻia ka diski e ka poʻe hoʻohewa a me nā mea aloha mele. Ma waho aʻe o kāna ʻoihana solo, hoʻomaka ka mea pena e hana pū me Flying Lotus. Ua komo 'o ia i ka ho'opa'a 'ana i kekahi mau LP o ka mea mele.
I ka makahiki 2013, ua hauʻoli ka mea hoʻokani pila i ka "fans" me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o kāna album studio lua. Ua kapa ʻia ka album ʻo Apocalypse. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka hui ʻana ma ka lepili Brainfeeder. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Thundercat i kahi wikiō pālua no nā mele 10 a me 11 mai ka album ma ka pūnaewele MySpace. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka album e Steven ponoʻī a me Flying Lotus.
Hōʻike: ʻO Brainfeeder kahi lepili i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Los Angeles, Kaleponi i hoʻokumu ʻia e Flying Lotus ma 2008 a he loea i nā mele uila a me nā mea kani hip-hop.
ʻElua mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua lilo ʻo ia i mea kākau pū o Kendrick Lamar's LP To Pimp a Butterfly. Ma ke ala, ua alakaʻi ka moʻolelo i ka pakuhi Billboard 200. Ua ʻike ʻia ka moʻolelo ʻo ia ka album maikaʻi loa o 2015 (e like me Rolling Stone).
I ka makahiki 2015, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka mini-compilation The Beyond / Where The Giants Roam. Ua loaʻa i ka hana nā māka kiʻekiʻe mai nā mea hoʻokani mele. I loko o kēia manawa, hana pū ʻo ia me nā mea pena ʻē aʻe a kākau i nā haku no lākou.
Hoʻokuʻu album ʻona
Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kāna album studio ʻekolu. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Longplay ʻo Drunk. Hōʻike ka hui ʻana iā Michael McDonald a me Kenny Loggins, a me Kendrick Lamar и Pharrell Williams. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka album e nā mele he 23, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka manawa holo o Drunk ma mua o hoʻokahi hola.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi remix o ChopNotSlop na OG Ron C., DJ Candlestick a me The Chopstars i kapa ʻia ʻo Drank ma ke ʻano he paʻi kūikawā vinyl LP.
I ka makahiki 2020, ua hauʻoli ka mea pena i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kahi album studio ʻē aʻe. ʻO Longplay It Is What It, i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana o ka rapper Mac Miller, loaʻa i ka hoʻopiʻi koʻikoʻi. E hoʻomanaʻo, mai ka makahiki 2013, ua hana mau ʻo Mac Miller a me Thundercat. Ua hōʻike ʻia ka mea pena ma nā mele a Mac In The Morning and What's The Use?, a hana pū me Mac ma ka NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert.
Ua lanakila ka hui ʻana i kahi makana Grammy no ka Best Progressive R&B Album. Nā paukū malihini: Lil B, Ty Dilla $ign, Childish Gambino a me Steve Lacy.
Thundercat: nā kikoʻī pilikino
ʻAʻole ʻōlelo ka mea hoʻokani pila i kona ola pilikino. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia nā ʻoihana pūnaewele iā ʻoe e loiloi inā paʻa a manuahi paha kona puʻuwai. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole ʻo ia i male (e like me 2022), akā he kaikamahine makua kāna i kapa ʻia ʻo Sana.
Hōʻike pinepine ʻia nā kumuhana hoʻomana i kāna mele. ʻAʻole hūnā ʻo Stephen i ka manaʻoʻiʻo i ke Akua - he Karistiano ʻo ia.
Thundercat: ko mākou mau lā
Ma 2022, hoʻomau ʻo ia i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kāna ʻoihana solo. Ke alakaʻi nei ka mea pena i nā ʻoihana pūnaewele, kahi e ʻike pinepine ʻia ai nā nūhou hou loa. Ma ka pō o ka makahiki hou, ua mālama ʻo ia i kekahi mau hana ma ʻAmelika.
