Answer

B.U.D. (Brought Up Different) is a hip hop/R&B artist and songwriter from Pamplico, South Carolina. His music can be described as therapeutic and relatable. Starting out in the church choir, music has always been a way for him to express himself. This expression has landed him in the studio presence of well-known names such as 112, J. Holiday, and most recently the production team, “Dream Team.”

Using his musical talents as an outlet, B.U.D found himself dabbling in both genres of R&B and rap. With a unique sound and a talent for writing, B.U.D honed his ability to really work a crowd while in college at South Carolina State University where he was the opening act for several major visiting performers including Lil Wayne, Trina, Bobby Valentino, Yung Dro, Fantasia, and Lil Boosie.

As an artist, B.U.D aspires to evoke emotion from his audience and believes that music should resonate with people. With his movement titled, “Tired of Dreaming” in which the meaning behind the movement is that “It’s not the dream we are tired of, it’s not having the reality of what we dream of,” B.U.D continues to push forward in building a real and solid fan base.
