About Me

"My life my life my life my life, in a sunshine...."I was born in 1976"I'm a composer, arranger, beatmaker, and before all, a sufferer".Buddy Sativa 2006!!Buddy Sativa is a kind of shaolin monk whose main skill is to create music and preparing the "pho" soup. A real chameleon whose favourite subject of meditation is Music, an energy that takes so many forms. He knows how to compose in many different styles to open the gates of his mind and communicate with the Universe such as Music has defined and defines it constantly. Active into music since 1994, he's been learning and discovering a lot about rythm and trance through west african drums that he's been playing for 7 years. He took for a short time classic piano lessons when he was about 12 and before to stop, his dear piano teacheress gave him the key of his future improvements in other words, the basic improvisation's blues scale with the famous "blue note".He re-discovered keys later with a little toy-like yamaha-synthesizer that a friend lend him when he was in high-school.It was the start of his musical calling, a lot of self teaching made him improved his skills, and expand his musical expression on keys which became his first instrument of composition. Then came the machines and the samples, pure energy that can be easily corrupted if it's not serving the duty of a new creation.Buddy Sativa's aim is to wake up and gather the spirits and the souls by spreading his musical messages to the whole planet.
