Petty Party

The pop-rhythmic duo Petty Party is comprised of singer/songwriter Bruna Victoria and songwriter/producer/engineer Michael Leto. Named in reference to the personal and emotionally charged nature of their musical concepts, the two combine their respective musical backgrounds and life experiences to create a unique yet universal sound and feel. The California-raised musicians are pushing the limits and boundaries of modern popular music. Their desire to look beyond the mainstream inspires surprising chord progressions, and driving swung drums. As friends who built a creative partnership, Michael and Bruna call upon their past personal relationships, as well as each one’s personal views on life experiences in their songwriting. Petty Party has combined their individual and shared experiences and creativity for their freshman EP “Suicide Note”, which outlined their struggles with depression, suicide, toxic relationships, and self-worth. The EP is dark and telling but yet speaks to Gen Z directly. Soon after, they collaborated on their single “Back To Me,” Working with fellow students, they shot a very emotional rendition of the song to video and eventually took third place out of 1500+ submissions in a nation collegiate music video competition for the video of the very powerful song. Today Petty Party’s collaborations culminate in their sophomore EP, “Ghosts & Zombies,” chock-full of allegorical references, unexpected instrumentation, and coming-of-age angst.
