Los Angeles based singer/songwriter, Buffy has been branding her sound into the memories of listeners across America. It is difficult to find a single word that justly describes her live
performances. Elements of Funk, Folk, and straight-up Rock are the mainstays of Buffy’s approach, however these genres can only partially
express the undisguised and organic vibe she creates in a venue of any
capacity. The original sound of her voice can range from the
sensitivity of Jack Johnson to the uninhibited spirit of Janis Joplin.
Her lyrical content and undeniable presence on stage invokes a social
awareness and sentiments reminiscent of those conveyed at a Dylan or
Difranco concert.
Her debut album, Highs & Lows (mastered by two-time Grammy Award
winner, Gavin Lurssen), was released on April 25th, 2006 to a packed
house at the infamous Hotel Café in Hollywood, California. Highs &
Lows features performances by musicians who have recorded and toured
with artists such as Lauryn Hill, Sean Paul, and Damien Marley. Shortly
after the release of Highs & Lows, Buffy was a featured artist on
the WB’s Gilmore Girls 2006 season finale. Buffy has opened for Veruca
Salt, Starbucks recording artist Sonya Kitchell, The Weepies, Samantha
Murphy, and Deep Banana Blackout. She has recorded projects with many
producers including the legendary Danny “Kooch” Kortchmar (who’s worked
with Carol King, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Neil Young, Bonnie Raitt,
and Jackson Browne).
Though her roots began in a small town, Buffy has outgrown her turf
with unmistakable talent and drive. Growing up she performed with
local theater and musical groups. While in high school she landed
roles in national touring rock musicals Hair and The Who’s, Tommy, with
Underdog Productions. It was during this time that she discovered her
ability as a creative musician and has since performed with groups in
many genres including Funk, Folk, R&B, Jazz, Pop, and Hip-Hop. Buffy’s knack for writing catchy melodies and engaging lyrics has landed her
roles in many projects including: writing/performing with one of
Boston’s hottest hip-hop trios, Olda Brotha Squadron;
writing/performing on Roots Reggae album, Jah Works’, Revolution,
writing/performing a song on Korean Pop sensation, Yun Sang’s album,
There is a Man, and creating music for television and film with
songwriting team, The Hang Factory.
Buffy also attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston,
Massachusetts on an academic scholarship where she majored in Music
Production and Engineering. At Berklee she performed with select groups
including the Joni Mitchell, Bob Marley and Jazz/Hip-Hop Ensembles. She
was also invited to participate in the Berklee Women’s Show at the
world renowned Berklee Performance Center. She was chosen by President
Roger Brown to sing on a children’s album for Bright Horizons, an
education program. As a side project, Buffy also ran a weekly indie music
night at Emily’s Bar in downtown Boston. She also proved to be the most
outspoken participant in one of Boston’s televised panel discussions on
Women In The Music Business.
