J-Bru grew up as Jason Bruce, an athletic youth whose father was a professional boxer as well as musician with ‘The Valiants’, a soul group formed in Shelburne, NS. A high school and college basketball star, Bruce used athletics to keep his mind off childhood struggles.

After his stellar college basketball career was over, Bruce started recording music with Classified. His first release Tell Me What U Like (2000) sold 400 copies hand to hand and his next release The Fax (2001) sold 700.

With national distribution and a very busy schedule, Bru managed to sell over 1000 copies. His next release Identity Crisis was released on March 27th, 2007. With four hit singles, ‘Makin People Say’, ‘It’s Rainin’ featuring Jordan Croucher, ‘What R We Doin’ and ‘Help! I Been Robbed’ on rotation at MuchMusic and Much Vibe, J-Bru is steadily becoming a household name. Next up for Bru, The Jason EP, which is scheduled for a summer 2010 release on Bru-Print/Half-Life.
