BUD ROGERS

Bud Rogers interest in music started at a very early age, he was singing and writing tunes by the age of 7 yrs old with his brother. As he got older he started a rock band, Sphynx,  with a friend, started writing more music, and playing gigs around London. The band had some change up of players and eventually changed the band name to Big Brother with a new sound. After a year of struggling the band broke up. 

 

Bud missed the music and contacted one of his bandmates from Big Brother and they formed The Cut. They recorded the album "Emotional Suicide" and the opening track "Keep Your Demon Down" on Radio One. Eventually Bud needed to learn more about music so he went back to school. After completing his music degree he went on to teach music and helped to open a Rock School in England.

 

Fast forward Bud has done quite a bit in many different bands and decided to venture out as a solo artist. He released "Whiteout" which garnered him a few internet radio awards, a Twirl Radio Award for "Male Vocalist of the Year" and from Take 2 Radio Indie Awards, voted by the listeners, he won for "Album of the Year" and "Acoustic Artist of the Year" for his acoustic videos. 

 

Most recently Bud released an EP "Setting Sun" which crosses a spectrum of genres, showcasing Bud's versatility! Bud plays all instruments, wrote all the songs, and produced the EP himself!
