Guitarist Bruno Major Talks Songwriting, Touring with Sam Smith
By James Wood 2018-04-18T20:40:47Z Artist
Following the release of his 12-song project, A Song for Every Moon, last year, London-based guitarist Bruno Major found himself playing to sold-out audiences in North America and the U.K. with pop megastar Sam Smith.
Originally a seasoned jazz musician, Major began his career as a session guitarist at 16. His distinctive playing style, inspired songwriting and soulful vocals have earned him legions of fans worldwide. And with more music and another run of his own headlining dates in Europe and North America on the horizon, he's an artist to watch in the months ahead.
Guitar World recently spoke with Major about his music and more in this new interview.
To someone who may not be familiar, how would you describe your style of music?
At the core of it, it's songwriting. I've played guitar since I was seven and as a jazz musician, I was influenced by Chet Baker, Louie Armstrong and the Great American Songbook. There's a lot of musicality and soul that I try to emulate as a songwriter. I'm also a huge fan of electronic music and artists like Radiohead and Kendrick Lamar. There's a lot of hip-hop and electronic music when it comes to the production.
In your opinion, what makes jazz so timeless and special?
There's a wide spectrum of music that's covered under the umbrella of jazz. What attracted me was that it seemed to be the key to understanding music at large. Whenever I hear jazz, I can also hear everything I love about pop and classical. In a way, it's like learning a language, like English or French. If you want to communicate your feelings accurately, you have to be fluent in the language that you're speaking. Grammatically, jazz is the most difficult form.
What's your songwriting process typically like? What inspires you when you write?
It can be something that someone says; a line in a book I'm reading, or I can sit down at the piano and an idea will fall out. There's no real set pattern to the process. All I know is that when the moment comes, and you get the feeling that a song's coming, you have to drop everything and make sure that you're ready to chase it.
Did you always know that music would be your calling?
I've always known, but I wasn't sure what it was within music I wanted to do, until I had written my first song. I also enjoyed writing and at one point even considered becoming a writer. I think that's why I love songwriting so much. It allows me to combine my love of writing and music.
You have a unique fingerstyle picking technique. Is that something you developed and transitioned into?
I use both a pick and fingers. I started playing classically and when I got into jazz, I became obsessed with Joe Pass and the way he used his fingers to play a chord-melody style. I feel very comfortable playing that way. Sometimes when you use a pick, it feels as if there's an extra element of separation between you and the instrument. You can't touch it or feel it and it, and it's harder to pay with emotion.
What's your current setup like?
I have a black 1984 Les Paul Custom black with silver hardware that I recorded my whole album, A Song For Every Moon, on. I love that guitar. When I'm recording, I play it exclusively through a Supro Dual Reverb, which is an unbelievable amp. When I perform live, I also use a tube screamer and a vintage ProCo.
What are your current tour plans like?
We just completed a U.S. tour and then I did a U.K tour with Sam Smith. I've got a week off and then we'll be going around Europe and the U.K., and then I'll be back in America doing another headlining tour.
What was it like touring U.K. arenas with Sam Smith?
I'm not going to lie. It was pretty fucking cool, man [laughs]. Playing guitar solos in front of 25,000 people is just the most fun thing ever. It given me a new target. I want to get back there again as soon as possible!

The mutual fund portfolio is a pool of investments created from the fund manager's investment decisions, which are held in trust on behalf of the individual investors. Each fund has a defined investment objective that determines the overall management of the fund and the types of investments that can be held in it. When you invest in a mutual fund, you purchase units in the fund, where each unit represents a share of the fund's value.
A diverse array of mutual funds is available to investors, including money market, fixed income, balanced and equity funds.
Mutual funds also vary in the amount of returns generated and their degree of risk. The chart below shows money market funds are the least risky and generally have the lowest returns. While equity funds are usually the most risky but tend to have the highest potential returns.
Your advisor can help you build your portfolio, ensuring the funds you choose fit your investor profile, risk tolerance and investment objectives.
These types of funds invest primarily in treasury bills and other high quality, low risk short-term investments. Offering stability and minimal risk, money market funds deliver returns in the form of regular monthly distributions that are typically better than those of a traditional bank account. Investors looking to meet short-term goals or access funds in case of emergency often choose money market funds as an investment solution.
By investing in fixed income securities such as mortgages, bonds and preferred shares, fixed income funds offer regular cash flow while preserving capital. These funds typically distribute interest income and provide potential for capital gains. Fixed income funds may also be used as a way to diversify an investment portfolio.
Balanced funds hold a combination of equities, fixed income and money market investments. The portfolio manager adjusts the asset mix based on the objective of the fund and their view of the economy. Investors receive distributions in the form of interest, dividends and capital gains.
Equity funds invest in the stocks of public companies. These companies range in size from large to small, or both, and can be located in Canada only, the United States only, other specific countries or all countries. Equity funds may also focus on companies in certain sectors such as energy, gold or financials. These funds are ideal for investors looking for potential growth over the long term.
With mutual funds, a professional money manager is responsible for investment decisions. Rather than having to research every investment before deciding to buy or sell, you have a professional money manager there to manage it for you. RBC Global Asset Management has an experienced team of portfolio managers from diverse backgrounds with varying expertise and skills.
Mutual funds make global markets accessible to every investor, opening up the opportunity to participate in capital markets across the globe. With offices in Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia, our investment management teams are equipped to provide clients with the best investment opportunities available in the world.
Mutual funds in general can hold many different investments, offering a level of diversification often only achieved with larger portfolios. Because mutual funds invest in a variety of equities, bonds and other holdings, investors can create a balanced and diversified investment portfolio with a relatively modest amount of money.
Economies of scale make mutual funds a cost-effective investment option. You share costs with other investors such as individual transaction and management fees.
Plus, RBC Funds and PH&N Funds have among the lowest fees of all actively managed Canadian mutual fund families†.
Mutual funds are considered liquid investments because you can usually redeem your units as the need arises and have your money available within two business days. You receive the price based on the unit value at the end of the day you sell.
There are different investment options available to help you reach your financial goals. Regardless of which investment you choose, it is important to understand the costs involved and how those costs affect your investment. Not all mutual funds have the same fee structure. The costs of some funds will impact your return more than others.
The less you pay for your investments, the more you keep, making the cost of investing something you should always try to minimize. Over time, minimizing costs can have a significant and positive impact on the growth of your portfolio.
a 0.27% difference results in an additional $1,133 in growth for the portfolio over 10 years.
* Based on median MER or Morningstar categories corresponding to the RBC Select Portfolios: Very Conservative - Canadian Fixed Income Balanced; Conservative and Balanced - Global Netural Balanced; Growth - Global Equity Balanced; Aggressive Growth - Global Equity. As of December 2015.
The MER is the total of the management fee, operating expenses (or administration fee) and GST/HST charged to a fund each year, expressed as a percentage of a fund's average net assets for that year. All mutual funds have an MER.
The returns you earn as an investor reflect performance data that is reported after the fund's MER is deducted. For example, if your fund's investments gained 9% last year and the fund's MER was 2%, the reported return would be 7% for that time period.
A sales commission (referred to as a load) is a one-time fee sometimes paid to an advisor's firm for selling a mutual fund to investors.
A no-load fund has no sales commission when a fund is purchased or redeemed.
When you choose a front-end load fund, you and your advisor negotiate the percentage to be charged, which generally ranges from 0% to 5% of the amount you invest. Mutual fund companies deduct the sales charge from the amount you invest and pay it to your dealer.
With a back-end load fund, you do not pay a commission at the time of purchase. Instead, the fund company pays a commission to your advisor's firm at the time of purchase. However, if you redeem your mutual fund earlier than the prescribed time limit, you will pay a redemption fee to the fund company.
Mutual funds that are intended for long-term investing typically charge fees if units are redeemed within a short time period (e.g. 30 days). The proceeds of this fee go directly to the fund, benefiting the remaining unitholders. The fee is designed to deter excessive trading and offset the associated costs. RBC Funds and PH&N Funds suitable for short-term investing (such as money market funds) are excluded from this charge.
RBC Funds and PH&N Funds have some of the lowest fees in the industry.
MERs of our funds are commonly seen as among the lowest of all actively managed funds in Canada. For more information on costs associated with mutual funds, review our fact sheet Understanding the Cost of Mutual Fund Investing or talk to your advisor.
