Bruce Sudano

American singer-songwriter Bruce Sudano has a storied history in the world of music. Born &amp; raised in Brooklyn, NY, his unique journey includes an early songwriting mentorship from Tommy James (the pair co-wrote the 1969 hit &#34;<a href="spotify:track:3KchEpZTHGlL5xnYkXlFU6" data-name="Ball of Fire">Ball of Fire</a>&#34; for James’ band The Shondells), co-founding two groups in the ‘70’s, <a href="spotify:artist:6sIWmcJRaS1WZe5XPjRf0j" data-name="Alive &#39;N Kickin&#39;">Alive &#39;N Kickin&#39;</a> &amp; <a href="spotify:artist:2Uh4UmiQhrrElbrvJVH0dT" data-name="Brooklyn Dreams">Brooklyn Dreams</a>, who both scored Billboard charting songs (“<a href="spotify:track:5OXATqrGVPG49BjEIY6yyM" data-name="Tighter, Tighter">Tighter, Tighter</a>” &amp; “<a href="spotify:track:6VVbkvqXZlgTmYQmVh81nI" data-name="Heaven Knows">Heaven Knows</a>” respectively), &amp; seeing his work recorded by iconic artists like <a href="spotify:artist:32vWCbZh0xZ4o9gkz4PsEU" data-name="Dolly Parton">Dolly Parton</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:02rd0anEWfMtF7iMku9uor" data-name="Reba McEntire">Reba McEntire</a> (both with “<a href="spotify:track:7p35PhODte3meRvTgiVmrI" data-name="Starting over Again">Starting over Again</a>”) &amp; Michael &amp; <a href="spotify:artist:1VDurPMbOKrNU8mcMP4X1P" data-name="Jermaine Jackson">Jermaine Jackson</a> (“Tell Me I’m Not Dreaming”). But his most fruitful association dates from 1977 when Bruce began working with <a href="spotify:artist:2eogQKWWoohI3BSnoG7E2U" data-name="Donna Summer">Donna Summer</a>, co-writing her smash hit “<a href="spotify:track:1ibRqifchaAfeNdQGpbRVW" data-name="Bad Girls">Bad Girls</a>”, &amp; developing what became a 3&#43; decade musical partnership &amp; marriage, until her passing from cancer in 2012.

This tragedy started Bruce on a new journey, writing, recording &amp; touring for himself, releasing 6 albums &amp; numerous singles throughout the past decade. Bruce’s musical capabilities blend philosophical, spiritual, love, and social consciousness ideas, expressing internal challenges from everyday life &amp; songs dispatched from the heart, with exquisite story telling. His life and his stories continue in his recent album <a href="spotify:album:30hSDxBhr4JnFry1yPCHZm" data-name="Talkin&#39; Ugly Truth, Tellin&#39; Pretty Lies">Talkin&#39; Ugly Truth, Tellin&#39; Pretty Lies</a>, diving into every stage of life, from the exhilaration of youth through the maze of love, loss, &amp; lessons learned, ending with what it all means &amp; where the journey leads from there.
