Brandy Bugatti

Brandy Bugatti was born in Shrevport, Louisiana. She spent most of her childhood either there or in Miami, Florida, as her mother was, too- Bugatti’s mother was a singer and would be going from one city to the other. Growing up with plenty of musical influence, Bugatti began singing when she was two years old, starting with her grandmother’s choir. At fourteen, Bugatti did her first professional recording and had some music on tapes and CDs.

As far as actually getting into the professional side of music, it started when Bugatti was in high school. She was already known to the city of Shreveport, Louisiana as a great singerafter winning a couple of talent shows in middle school, she was featured in their little newspaper. So naturally, it was a really big deal when Lynch by Lynch records heard her sing and contacted her. Bugatti was put on the radio and she got to travel. This was all just her singing, as no one knew at the time she can also write. Currently, Bugatti is planning a five-song EP that she wants to be more of a story, using each video as part of a sequence.

Bugatti said that to be an artist who stands out, one must put enough time and money into their art. Artists need to believe in themselves and what they’re doing, which separates them from other artists. Also, they want to avoid the “starving artist” stereotype. Bugatti talked about other artists such as Beyoncé and Meg the Stallion, saying that she is different from them- she just can’t put her finger on how.

Some favorites of Bugatti’s: neo-soul is her favorite genre of music to listen to and she loves any kind of chicken. She also loves Tony Chachere’s seasoning- “If you ain’t sneezing, you ain’t seasoning.” Her favorite city would be Atlanta, as its trees, smell, and people all remind her of Shreveport. Drake and Kendrick Lamar are two of her favorite celebrities, with Drake being her celebrity crush, and she loves listening to Missy Elliott’s music.

Outside of music, Bugatti also has a cleaning business that does monthly cleaning and disinfecting for elderly people and people who can’t afford to hire somebody for free. This includes disinfecting homes after a Covid exposure, once the quarantine period has ended. “Everybody just doesn’t have it, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care about life,” she said. Bugatti doesn’t currently have a website for her business- she doesn’t talk about it much. “I’ve learned that it’s sometimes it’s better to just have a representative,” she answers when people ask why she doesn’t talk about it much. Bugatti’s favorite quote, “Spiritual Wealth is Golden. Knowing That Time Is More Valuable than money,” can be found on her Facebook page with the hashtag “#WhatsA��ToA��. ” She said that while most people align themselves as the goat, she sees herself more as the lion. “So a lion would eat up a goat any day. Are you sure you want to be a goat?” Bugatti said. The encouraging words Bugatti would give to people who want to be in the entertainment business is that “everything is not going to go right off.”

Bugatti said that she is big on learning history, that she is “really big on finding out the truth of who I am and where I came from.” So it makes sense that she supports the Black Lives Matter movement. “Why? ‘Cause I am black.” Bugatti talks about how people can point fingers all day, but it’s more important to reflect.
