Ty Bru's Bio

Straight out of North Carolina, Asheboro's 26 year old Ty Bru has been in and out of the underground hip hop scene from state to state and even country to country. While chasing 5 degrees at Appalachian State University, Bru performed his raw and unrecorded tracks at local spots and fraternity/sorority functions, but that just wasn't enough. Shortly after graduation, Bru went on a small tour through many European countries, France, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, England, Belgium, and Holland. Opening up for some of the hottest DJ's and MC's in each country.

In 2006, Bru immediately began working on shows, tracks and his solo project, "On The Brink". Since then, Bru's unforgettable, energetic, and original up close and personal performances have put him in a class all by himself and he has earned the right to open for Bubba Sparxxx, Andre 3000 (In Europe), Nappy Roots, Coolio, and Public Enemy.

His style successfully combines witty punch lines, real life situations, passion and fierce deliveries with every genre of the hip hop world. Now with Bru's freshman solo album, "On The Brink" finished, he looks to shake things up nationwide using the incredible momentum that he has already established.
With main production by one of the hottest up and coming producers, Ty Writer, the album is already creating noise. Mix that in with production by Hammadi (Shareefa, Kelis, Cl Smooth etc), Double J The Jenius (Illpo, Ed E Ruger), J Coleman, and also one of the hottest producers in South Africa, Ootz it is a sure ear and soul pleaser, proving Ty Bru is exactly "The Way Hip Hop Should Be."
