Bruce Sugar is the Composer for “A Pornographer” the controversial and alarming, fact-based story of excessive internet porn listings—over 100 a day in Los Angeles alone-- for porn actresses which may, or may not, be fraudulent casting sessions.
   
Bruce Sugar’s career literally reads like a Who’s Who of popular music, stretching from Nashville greats like Hank Williams Jr., to Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, and Ozzy Osbourne.  Sugar also worked with Grammy Award-winner Whitney Houston, Mopreme Shakur and the Outlawz, and Snoop Dog. 

“We are super excited to have a musician who is the caliber of Bruce Sugar as our film’s composer,” smiles “A Pornographer” director Mike Campbell.  He continues, “For me as a first-time director to have such a music icon be an integral part of our production, even my wildest expectations have been surpassed; Bruce’s score is hauntingly true to the movie’s theme; it truly completes our film.” 

He worked at the progressive studio Quadraphonic, where Neil Young’s legendary “Harvest” was cut, and alongside the luminary likes of Jimmy Buffett and Dan Fogelberg.  While Sugar cut his teeth in Nashville in the early 1980s recording live broadcasts and records for Nashville greats like Willie Nelson, Don Williams, and Merle Haggard, he has become equally renowned in Hollywood. 

In 1985, Sugar moved to his base in the Hollywood Hills and started his association with Baby-O Studios.  Although an early pioneer of working with digital audio, he still uses some analogue techniques to add warmth and presence to the overall sound.   His expertise, dedication and easy working style have led to his working with a long list of Music “Hall of Famers” who are as diverse as Dionne Warwick and Al Jarreau to country legends Hall and Oates and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

Sugar also recorded and mixed “Tears in Heaven” for a major Katrina relief effort that included such stars as Elton John, Rod Stewart, Ozzy Osbourne, Gwen Stafani, Steven Tyler, Pink, Mary J Blige, Phil Collins and opera great Andrea Bocelli.
