Bram Inscore, best known for his work with Troye Sivan, passed away at 41. According to a statement from his family and friends, Bran died by suicide, after a battle with depression, Variety reported.

Throughout his career, he contributed to singles including Sivan's Youth, Andy Grammer's Don't Give Up on Me and BTS' Louder Than Bombs. Additionally, he collaborated with a spate of artists including Rina Sawayama, Hayley Kiyoko, Allie X, Duncan Laurence and Mayer Hawthorne.

"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," reads a statement from his family, wife and friends.

"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."

Born in San Francisco, Inscore started playing bass in high school before studying orchestral music and jazz at the University of South California (USC). He eventually left college to tour with artists such as Twin Shadow and Charlotte Gainsbourg. His impressive career included co-writing Sivan's 2015 platinum hit Youth and contributing to Beck's Grammy-winning album Morning Phase.
