Bru-C's debut album Original Sounds, was released on 22 November 2019 with CruCast, which was his record label at the time.[3]
His second album Smile, was released the following year on 4 December. Having suffered with his own mental health problems in the past, Bru-C's aim with Smile was simple: to make a positive, life-affirming album that would connect with people. Over 15 tracks that bring together elements of drum & bass, grime, bassline, garage and more, Bru-C does just that - creating a world that's both deeply personal and entirely relatable.[4]
On 16 December 2021, Bru-C signed a contract to join the major record label, Def Jam Recordings.[5]
Outside of music, Bru-C is the creator of several ever-growing businesses including events and fashion brand Krudd, as sold out club nights and clothing lines become intrinsically associated with his name.
