Emotional, nostalgic, and calming: The best adjectives to define Bruno Major’s music. His ability to convey emotions through his sentimental and deep songs, which address themes of love, heartbreak, and emotional experiences, is what listeners love him for. The British singer-songwriter, whose fans had been waiting for his return for five years, came back to Manila for his concert, Tour of the Planet Earth 2023, to captivate his fans with outstanding vocals and performance, soulful melodies, and flawless poetry.
Widely recognized for the songs Nothing, Easily, and The Most Beautiful Thing, Bruno Major initially won our hearts during his Philippine debut at Karpos Live in 2018, and ever since then, we have become complete suckers for his live performances. He was slated to perform at the Wanderland Music & Arts Festival 2020, but the event was later postponed.
