Merlin Bronques is an American musician and photographer originally from Brooklyn, NY, United States who grew up in Montreal, but primarily Aylmer Quebec, Canada.
As a musician, he enjoyed popularity during the mid-1990s under the moniker Merlin. His 1993 self-produced first album A Noise Supreme was a blend of industrial rock and rap. The album received critical praise and generated a fanbase in Canada, partly due to MuchMusic airplay of the video for the single "Pusher."
In 1996, Merlin released the album Merlin's Arcade.Â
He later formed the group NAM:LIVE!, which he disbanded after finding great success as a nightlife photographer.[1] A book of his photographs, lastnightsparty: Where Were You Last Night?, was published in 2006.
