Fame Magazine: Exclusive Interview with Brett Pruneau

by Troy Johnstone

Thank you for chatting with us today! This has been crazy for most – what has been your biggest take away?

Hi there, it’s my pleasure! Wow, yea… “crazy” is an understatement. I think my biggest takeaway has simply been reaffirming for myself about that primal need I have to be creative. It’s like a life source for me — As soon as I realized we were going to have the stage stolen away due to this terrible Pandemic I went into survival mode and immediately began work on my latest EP, ‘The Real Thing’. I never dreamed that 8 months later I would be holding the finished product yet still be dealing with the repercussions of COVID-19.

We would love to learn more about you. Would you do a brief walkthrough of where you started and where you are now? 

So I began my professional career at 17 when I was ‘discovered’ by a producer named David Downes. David had created the Multi-Platinum Irish Group ‘Celtic Woman’ and signed me to a development deal. I spent 4 years in Ireland working with some of the best in the business and developing my craft as a recording artist, musician and performer. After my time in Ireland I moved to NYC for several years and eventually fate led me to Las Vegas. I’ve headlined 3 different shows on Las Vegas Strip and have now transitioned into a lot more touring work. I keep Vegas as ‘home base’ for the moment and still perform throughout town quite regularly in addition to my traveling and recording work.
