He wore a high-vis jacket cycling to the office by day and wrote music by night. 25 years later, Bruce Soord is selling out tours worldwide without chasing a record deal.

In this conversation, Bruce opens up about: - Writing his solo album Ghosts in the Park alone in hotel rooms on tour - How losing his father to dementia shaped every lyric on the record - The moment his mum — non-verbal for years — suddenly spoke his sister's name - Why stopping chasing success is what made him successful - The difference between writing songs at 25 vs writing them now - What it really feels like to headline shows 25 years after starting from nothing This isn't an interview. It's a proper conversation about music, grief, memory, and what it means to build something real over a lifetime.
