UL 麻豆传媒app music business major Sean Bruce is getting a jump-start on his career.
The indie folk musician and songwriter released a debut album, 鈥淒aytime Hopes,鈥 in 2011. He also has toured the southwest, performing at small venues and festivals.
Bruce鈥檚 latest foray into the spotlight will be before a national TV audience. His song, 鈥淟ouisiana,鈥 will be featured in a 30-second commercial about the University. It will air on ESPN and the American Sports Network during televised athletic events, including football games this season.
The song, which Bruce wrote and sings, conveys an appreciation for the music, food, and Cajun and Creole culture of Louisiana. "Louisiana" was released in 2014 on Bruce's five-song EP, Staring at Maps, Pt. 1.
鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of a love song about the state and the people,鈥 Bruce explained.

It also features several students, who, according to Dr. DeWayne Bowie, vice president for Enrollment Management, symbolize all students鈥 commitment to 鈥渢he future of this University,鈥
鈥(Students) truly are locked arm in arm with us to move this campus forward,鈥 Bowie said.
