GHOSTE STORY
Light a candle, put on your headphones, and invite the dreamy, cinematic, jewel-toned sounds of Ghoste to haunt your heart. Drawn to the more nuanced emotions of the human psyche, lauded New York City singer-songwriter, Jenny Bruce, dons a glowing electro musical cloak as Ghoste.
Embracing themes of adversity and resilience, Bruce’s lithe vocals alluringly transform struggle into shimmering hope, faithful to her motto, per aspera ad astra (through adversity to the stars).
Songwriting has garnered Bruce a multitude of awards (Billboard, Songwriters Hall of Fame, International Songwriting Contest to name a few), while her evocative work has been featured in dozens of TV shows from Dawson’s Creek and Ghost Whisperer, to All My Children, King of The Hill, and many more. For her fifth independent album, Bruce summoned long-time friend and gifted NYC producer, Matt Anthony, (Halestorm, Pat Monahan, Darius Rucker, Shinedown, Tammany Hall NYC) to explore new sounds inspired by Bruce’s musical heroes, Annie Lennox, Kate Bush, and Imogen Heap. Ghoste's work merges singer-songwriter artistry with elements of electro-pop, art-pop, indie-pop and folktronica.
A little backstory...
If experience is the teacher of all things, Bruce has certainly been well-schooled. She has loved, lost, lived in France, is the mother of two boys, and came of age, albeit underage, on the pulsating dance floors of Manhattan's roaring 80's club-scene -- ask her about dancing next to a then-unknown Madonna, meeting Warhol and Capote, and kissing John Cusack!
In her early years as an artist, Bruce survived by singing in the Paris Metro and later working as a singing-waitress at Paris' Hollywood Savoy before moving back to NYC to continue pursuing her passion for music. With a multitude of songwriting awards and song placements in TV and film, Bruce has released six independent albums and is currently recording songs for a second album as GHOSTE.
By the way, the E is silent. Ghoste is not.
For fans of Annie Lennox, Sarah McLachlan, Kate Bush, Lorde, Imogen Heap, Maggie Rogers
