Thundercat is the stage name of Stephen Lee Bruner, an American bass guitarist, vocalist, producer, and songwriter who was born in Los Angeles on October 19, 1984.
Rapper Mac Miller and Bruner were close friends who frequently hung out in their personal lives. The passing of Mac Miller in 2018 forced Bruner to face his own substance misuse and alcoholism, which led him to drink less and make healthier food choices. It’s rock ‘n’ roll, drugs, and sex. It’s true. You may ride the line without realizing how close you are.
Do I believe he died on purpose? I don’t believe he did, though. Despite the fact that it occasionally sneaks in there because you’re always on edge. Sometimes mistakes happen. In an interview with the Guardian in 2020, Bruner said, “That occurs frequently.
Did Thundercat make Mac Miller?
Throughout his career, Thundercat contributed bass, performed, and produced songs to Miller’s albums and mixtapes. Miller passed away in September 2018, just months before the bassist was scheduled to open for him in October on his “Swimming” tour.
Thundercat also paid tribute to Miller with his album “It Is What It Is,” which was released in April of this year.
