EARLY LIFE AND CAREER

Bruno Champion was raised the majority of his life by his father (in the dangerous streets of Michelle's Plain) , when soon later he was taken into government custody & was put in foster care (at the age of 4) before reuniting with his family in 2009. He was raised in a poorly conditioned environment where he had to adapt in order to fit in and survive.

Bruno's love for music sparked in 2014 where he looked up to famous musician and songwriter Bruno Mars. Bruno was so fascinated by Bruno Mars that he learnt every Bruno Mars song at that time. He even changed his stage name into Bruno as he follows in the steps of the icon (was currently known as love-boy). Bruno would then teach himself how to sing as he wanted to become a singer just like his childhood icon Bruno Mars. His first performance infront of an audience was at a school food fair where he sang "Just the way you are" & "It will Rain" by Bruno Mars but even before that he would sing infront of his school peers in class. Till today his favourite Bruno Mars song is "Talking to the Moon". Bruno then outgrew the perception of him becoming a singer & then fell in love with hiphop and rap music. He then decided in 2015 that becoming a well-known rapper is what he wanted to be. Bruno quickly taught himself how to rap by constantly rhyming the last few words. He then changed his stage name into ACE (actions conquer everything) then went back to Bruno. His favourite rapper and artist at the time and currently is "Russ", as Bruno really admires his hard work as an independent artist. Bruno quickly watched every single "Russ" interview (as stated in the song "Love Myself" by Bruno Champion) & live off YouTube and adopted the exact same mindset and convinced which can at times seem as if he is being cocky/arrogant.After adopting the "Russ" mentality Bruno stopped seeking acceptance from his fellow peers and started teaching himself how to produce, mix, master & engineer music as his goal is to become a successful independent artist like his role model "Russ".
