Announcing The Passing Of Bram Inscore, Producer & Songwriter"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Bram Inscore, who ended his life after a hard fought battle with depression. Bram was a “musician’s musician,” a producer, composer and multi- instrumentalist, who lent his talents to artists such as Beck, Troye Sivan and BTS.  Selfless as a human and generous as a collaborator, he ingeniously served the music but never his own ego.  Deep compassion and dry wit were embedded into everything he did, though he never sought praise or approval.  He was truly a unique spirit and though his soul has left his body, it will live forever in his music."

From his family, wife and friends.

Bram Inscore’s producer and songwriter credits include songs for the likes of Troye Sivan, Claud, BTS, Rina Sawayama, Big Freedia, Andy Grammer, Allie X, Moses Sumney, Mayer Hawthorne, Duncan Laurence, SuperM, RMR, Sophie Meiers, Cola Boyy, John Carroll Kirby, Ben Platt, The Veronicas, Chloe x Halle, Greyson Chance, Morgan Saint, and more. He also scored the film Sierra Burgess Is A Loser, and toured/performed with the likes of Beck, Thurston Moore, Charlotte Gainsburg, Twin Shadow, and more. Inscore’s full credits and discography available upon request.
