Why this name?
J Bru
1) because I can drink Brew like water
2) my last name is Bruce (Hence the B-R-U, not brew)

Do you play live?
Biggest show was opening for the Swollen Members at The palace in Halifax in March 2003. 2000 people and we (myself and Classified) rocked the crowd. I am one of the busiest MC's in Halifax as far as shows goes, doing them year round.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's easier to access people's music. I have gone to the US for 3 different tours, all of which were hooked up from people hearing my music on the net. Also, my label, Iron Fist Entertainment heard my music from a website.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, under the right circumstance. I am too much of a veteran in this game to jump at any deal. I have made mistakes in the past that I wouldn't now.
Your influences?
I really dig EPMD, Gang Starr, Ras Kass, Tash, Keith Murray. Also, I like to buy instrumental albums that no one has heard and look for samples to use.
Favorite spot?
Boston
Equipment used:
Yamaha PSR640 keyboard, Boss DR-770 drum machine, sampler
