The paragraph above is a quick scan of over 25 years in the music business from Nashville to around the world and back! It would take a river of coffee and a mountain of guitars to really tell the story of this true troubadour prisoner!Ĭhrysalis Music - Nash/LA - 2005-2010 - Publisher/Songwriter Long story short…Trey loves writing and producing music. In 2013 Trey started his own music publishing and artist development company, Galore Entertainment. Trey built an impressive catalog of roughly 500 songs in 5 years. Trey wrote an abundance of new songs with everyone from Duff McKagan, Scott Weiland, Carrie Underwood, Randy Travis and Richard Marx. At Chrysalis, Trey signed and developed new artists, such as GAC’s KingBilly, Big Machine's Chris Janson, Warner's Charlie Worsham, American Idol’s Kree Harrison, and TJ & John Osborne of Brothers Osborne. Over one thousand songs, projects, and demos later, Trey left Big Tractor in 2005 to start a publishing joint-venture with Chrysalis Music and became Head of A&R and Creative in the Nashville office. During the Big Tractor years, Trey developed a love for coffee and long nights in the studio so he became a record producer. After 3 years at MCA, in 1993, Trey co-founded a small indie publishing company, Big Tractor Music, with record producer Scott Hendricks and there he received 16 ASCAP Awards, an Emmy Award for best original song, and the first 5 of 10 #1 singles, multiple top 5 & 10 hits and an Academy Of Country Music Song of the Year nomination. Shortly after arriving in Nashville, he signed with MCA Music and his first demo became a hit single. Trey was a rock drummer from Memphis so….what could go wrong? He credits a copy of Springsteen’s “Tunnel of Love” as the bridge he had to cross to make the trip, lyrically & spiritually. Emmy Award-winning songwriter, Trey Bruce, moved to Nashville just in time for the 1990’s country music boom.
