. When Bruno was seven years old, his father noticed that the boy loves music, and gave him a guitar. Must be later than once he has repented in this short-sighted act, because he wanted his son chose a "real" profession, and the music was engaged only in the form of entertainment. However, the music is so seized Bruno, that the way back was no.

In his youth, Bruno paid tribute to the universal passion for rock. Today, he remembers his speech late 80's with groups "Amanite" and "Sneak Preview" is not without embarrassment. Songs "Amanite" and "Sneak Preview" sung in English, it was hard rock with all its necessary attributes - shrieks, disheveled hair and fancy costumes.

The role of "teenager", to which life events unfold Jimmy Bruno played fifty times. The play stayed on the scene a short time, and then happily went into the history, leaving, however, the repertoire Bruno successful song, "To die, as he" ( "Mourir comme lui").
