Singer, musician, airline pilot, entrepreneur, broadcaster and lead singer of Iron Maiden - is there anything that Bruce Dickinson can't do? Best known for his talented contribution to the heavy metal band, Bruce is widely famed for his enthusiastic performing style and operative vocal skill. Having kickstarted his career touring small pubs, Bruce is the perfect corporate entertainer for your event. He thrills audiences all occasion long, with his high-power performance and vocal talent. A truly enchanting performer, he commands the audience from the moment he steps into the stage, blowing guests away with his top-class musical talent.
If you have an event coming up, ensure that it is unforgettable with a special guest like Bruce. Having found fame with Iron Maiden, since auditioning in 1981, he was later inducted into the group, and Iron Maiden quickly set about writing their first album, Number of the Beast in 1982. When booked for events, Bruce retells his experience of the music industry, including the contractual limitations that prevented him from being credited in Iron Maiden's early years. The band's second album, Piece of Mind, showcased Bruce's natural talent in all of its glory - Iron Maiden even embarked on their longest tour to date with this album!
Iron Maiden enjoyed several chart-topping hits, credited to Bruce's dynamic ear for dramatic, operative sounds. Following a short hiatus, the band recorded No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark, as well as embarked on international tours like Rock in Rio, which drew a crowd of 250,000 people. In 2008, Iron Maiden's tour, Somewhere Back in Time World Tour, was described by critics as "groundbreaking". Its use of a customised Boeing 757 blew audiences away, and inspired the cinematic documentary, Iron Maiden: Flight 666. In 2010, their album, The Final Frontier topped the charts in nearly 30 countries.
As a solo artist, Bruce continued his exploration of heavy metal and rock. He produced music for A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, recorded Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter and made his solo debut with Tattooed Millionaire. Embarking on several solo tours, Bruce was the central focus of Scream For Me Sarajevo, a documentary about his concert. Aside from music, he captained Boeing 757s, was the Marketing Director of Astraeus and presented keynote speeches at such events as Connect2Business and Aviation Week's MRO Europe Conference. Passionate about aviation, Bruce is the unlikely expert ideal for industry events.
Star of the stage, as a musician and keynote speaker, the screen, as a host on the Discovery Channel, and the sky, as an airline pilot, Bruce is an incredibly engaging figure. He has previously appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and wrote The Adventures of Lord Iffy Boatrace and Chemical Wedding, making him an instant hit at events. Whether audiences recognise him as a musician, author or inspiration behind Trooper, Robinsons Brewery's beer, a special guest like Bruce will be unforgettable.
