Bruner began his professional music career when his band Colony was signed to MCA Records in 1998.[1][2] In 2002, he relocated to Los Angeles and began writing and producing for Rondor Music/Universal.[1][2] He left Universal in 2009 and signed with Warner Chappell Music,[1] and then signed with Kobalt Music Group[3] in 2012. He's written with and/or produced songs for Katy Perry,[4] Miley Cyrus,[4] Kesha,[5] Selena Gomez,[1] Plain White T's,[2] Three Days Grace,[6] My Darkest Days,[6] Gina Schock,[1] Cavo,[7] Joey Moi,[8] Gavin Brown (musician),[8] Bowling For Soup,[2] Marie Digby,[9] Jessie James,[6] Natalie Walker,[10] Rusko (musician),[6] Bonnie Mckee,[6] Traci Lords,[11] among others, as well as songs in film and television.

In the book It All Begins with the Music, Bruner is quoted as saying "Music is a rebellious path; it's all about freedom, and if you lock down and listen to people who are only worried about making a buck, that will shave off all the reasons you got into it in the first place- to have an adventurous and exciting life. If you keep that mindset, then the music will keep coming to you."[2]

In an interview in Riverfront Times, Bruner is quoted as saying "I feel like the best songs start out with a kind of therapy session with the artist finding out what inspires them, digging into the skeletons, and getting very personal about why they've chosen to get up on a stage and sing, you know? It's nuts, so if you dig a little, you'll find the good stuff."[12]
