Gentry Bronson

I founded Gentry Bronson Media & Creative Consulting in 2015, after having a career as a pianist, producer, singer, songwriter, band leader, composer and touring artist. Thanks to an amazing fan base, I am still known internationally for my music, songwriting and performances, but now my focus also involves helping others find and reach their creative and business goals.

My clients include: international child advocate Patty Wetterling; national recording artist Marsha Bartenetti; cooking and lifestyle brand Nina's New Orleans Kitchen; national MC and Influencer B-Nice; composer, producer and choreographer Justin Rayna; Nashville-based streaming concert startup 'Beyond Trax'; canine anxiety expert MaryMac's Doggie Retreat; New Orleans BBQ company Poppa C's; concierge real estate company Collegeville Brokerage; web design company point2point Central; and healing professional Shaman Jean.

In 2019, I co-founded Blue Lines Creative Agency to work with authors, speakers, innovators and other creatives. Under BLCA, my clients include: professional speaker, author and strengths coach Gregory P. Nelson; author, cook and social commentator Keith Frohreich; miniaturist, sculptor and artist Jeffrey Alltmont; Atlanta-based artist, author and community organizer Kmae; and personal trainer, author and motivational speaker Melissa Chrisco.

My parents named me after a hitchhiker, so becoming a touring artist felt like it was in my blood before I was born. I won early praise as a classical pianist, winning five Minnesota Music Teachers Association awards and performing in front of thousands of people as a kid. I was a punk poet, singer and composer in Seattle during the early 1990s, then an Acid Jazz, Drum 'n' Bass and Dub DJ in Prague. I moved to San Francisco during the mid-90s and became a multi-media producer. After winning three Northern California Songwriters Association awards in 2001, I formed the band the Night Watchmen. I went solo in 2006.

Between 2001 and 2014, I did seven concert tours in Europe and performed countless shows throughout the U.S. I wrote, produced and recorded over 100 songs on eight full-length studio records, three EPs and many singles.

Some of my highlights during those years: I recorded and released the first English adaptation of the Dutch classic 'Avond' originally written by Boudewijn de Groot. Dave Hoover and I produced 'Santa Fe Sky', which was used as the closing music in the award-winning indie feature film 'Roxie'. Hip Hop artist and VH1 reality show star John Brown asked me to record featured vocals and be in the video for 'No Games'. I wrote lyrics for four songs on Nymphya's debut album including 'Wasteland'. I also sang solo in front of home plate at Oakland Coliseum prior to a Major League Baseball night game.

My most recent album 'Environments' was released in November 2018. It's an album of nouveau-classical piano compositions I wrote after moving to New Orleans. All the pieces were inspired by places I've lived and traveled in around the world.
