BUDDAFLY AMINA

Tell everyone who you are and what you do.

I’m Amina Buddafly. I am a musician, singer-songwriter, and music producer, an author, I’m mom and I’m a ga instructor.

What made you want to pursue your career in the music industry?

What made me want to pursue a music career is the passion that I’ve always had for the music itself and for singing. It was me and my sisters who started it together. And I give a lot of credit to my older sister Sophie. Because she’s the one that started acting on recording songs when we were teenagers and she’s the one that got us all to do It and yes, it always natural to us. It wasn’t something that we decided, oh, let’s try to do music. It was like a natural thing. We grew up singing in choirs and music was always a very big part of us. It was never in question whether or not we were going to be musicians. It was always clear.

Tell us about your single and the motivation behind the song. The current single of my forthcoming album 4.0 is MMC and it stands for making me ***. And yeah, I always have to chuckle because it’s kind of rated R. At least I was just manifesting. The love that I want and deserve, and I realize that I’m not asking for much and I say it in the song as well. I’m not asking for much, so why is it so hard to find that person? That was before I had my boyfriend? I found him now but make me cum basically talks about me just wanting somebody that holds me down and is there for me and does not leave me because in the past every relationship I was in I ended up getting left for someone else or it was just never the right fit. So, I kind of wrote down all the things that I want, and it wasn’t much, but one of the things definitely was that I needed someone that makes me cum.

Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

In the next 5 years, I see myself growing my fan base. Performing more being on more stages. And making more money doing what I love and just continuing to climb up that ladder that I’ve been climbing for damn near 20 years now. You know, I see myself still rising and getting bigger by the year, even though I am taking baby steps because I’ve never had that big breakthrough, but I feel like my journey is to just grow as an artist and a musician and reach more people. That is my biggest goal. I just want to reach more people with my music and grow my brand and I think that’s a go for a lot of people out here and I’m one of them. I am happy on the journey, which is what it’s all about because you can’t be just looking forward to a destination. It has to be the journey that you enjoy and make it enjoyable. I’m still enjoying creating and putting up my music on my own. So in five years, I want to live in a bigger house with my two kids and hopefully my man and my dog and just continue to pursue my happiness and make my music

Let’s talk about your book and the experience you’ve had writing it. I have two books out. The first book is my memoir called The Other Woman. And I felt the need to write it after I left reality TV. I felt very misunderstood, and I felt the need to tell the story out of my perspective. So I wrote the other woman and a lot of the book is about who I am as a person because I felt like that’s what people didn’t really know. People misconceptions about who I am. People tried to tell me about myself, and they were always wrong. I’m very proud of that book because it’s very honest. It tells the story of me, where I come from, everything about my life that led up to me being on reality TV and my journey with my sisters and being in a relationship in the public eye, and everything that came with it. The negative, positive and then having kids. Everything is told in that memoir. In my second book. This book is called my dishes and more and it’s a lifTh30dayyle book. A 30-day guide for women ver, whoever wants to have a better, happier, healthier life and looks up to me on how to balance everything. It’s a lot of tips and in it on how I live my day-to-day life. A lot of workouts, fitness tips, 30 recipes and more, and that is my dishes and more.

How would you define your purpose?

How would I define my purpose? I would always define my purpose to inspire people. I want to inspire people with my art because I’m an artist. I’m an artist all around. I like anything art. I was like that in school when I was like 6 years old. I was always good at art where I didn’t have to be super social. I don’t know that I’m really a people person probably not, but I’m a loner and I create best when I’m alone and my art speaks to people and, you know, mainly my music, because that’s what I’ve most expressed in. I feel like my music is meant to inspire, and I already know that I’ve helped so many people with it, and I just feel like that is my calling and what I’m meant to be doing. So, I’m continuing to do just that.

Let’s talk about yogi and what it does for the mind, body and soul. It’s been a big part of my life for the past eleven years and it just brings awareness. It brings awareness over everything. Your body and your mind. It brings awareness to your life. Like you become more aware of what you are and what you want. Everything becomes clearer and you become more at peace. You get calmer and yoga for me is life. I can never go back to not doing Yogi. It brings you awareness and I believe selfawareness especially is the key to living a better life. So that’s what yoga does.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

Fun fact about me, I think a lot of people are still surprised when I tell them I have an identical twin. The people that didn’t follow my journey don’t know and a lot of people even to the day, Still comment I didn’t know you had a twin. Also, my first language is German. I guess those would be the fun facts. I don’t have anything more exciting than that. Even though I’m a very fine person.

Are you working on any new projects or upcoming events?

I am currently working on my 4th album. My fourth full album because there are other projects that I’ve put out over the years such as EP’s and Christmas EPs and collaborative albums such as the One with Lyfe Jennings. But right now, I’m working on my 4th full album, meaning more than 10 tracks. It has 15 songs on it and I’m actually complete. Currently it comes out on April 18th of 2023, on my 40th birthday. I’m very proud of it because its completely, executive produced by myself. I composed everything from scratch. I wrote all the songs and I feel like it’s some of my best work. I’m excited.
