Bud started playing violin at age five. As a kid, he enjoyed film scores—reliving the movies in his head while listening to the music. As he got older, he discovered Trance via mix compilation CDs such as Armin van Buuren’s ASOT 2004, Tiesto’s Summerbreeze and Paul van Dyk’s Reflections, amongst others. These two influences (Trance and film scores) have guided Bud to the narrative driven, emotional music he produces today.
Bud’s music has been supported by industry titans Above & Beyond, Paul Oakenfold, Cosmic Gate, DIM3NSION, Kyau & Albert, VONDA7, and more.
In October 2019, Bud launched his own record label 'STORYBOOK', which focuses on storytelling and experiencing the full spectrum of human emotion.
