Brant Bjork is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer known for his extensive contributions to the stoner rock genre. After co-founding the influential Californian stoner rock band Kyuss in 1987, Brant Bjork went on to shape the sound of an entire genre as its drummer and a key creative force. The band’s 1990 move to Los Angeles led to their debut album, ‘Wretch,’ in 1991, and their subsequent Elektra Records signing propelled desert rock onto an international stage. Bjork’s significant songwriting contributions included tracks such as ‘Green Machine’ and ’50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up)’.
In 2010, Bjork reunited with former Kyuss members to form Kyuss Lives!, which became Vista Chino in 2012, releasing the album ‘Peace’ in 2013. He continued his solo work, releasing ‘Black Power Flower’ as Brant Bjork and the Low Desert Punk Band in 2014, followed by solo albums ‘Mankind Woman’ (2018), the instrumental ‘Jacoozzi’ (2019), and the self-titled ‘Brant Bjork’ (2020). Also in 2020, he co-founded the power trio Stöner. His most recent solo album, ‘Bougainvillea Suite,’ was released in 2022.
Bjork is set to tour with the Brant Bjork Trio in 2023, continuing to deliver his influential sound to audiences worldwide.
