Buckhead Boyz

Hip-POP-Alt Influenced

We caught with a group called Buckhead Boyz from the ”ATL”.

When did you first get into music?

Like most singers, the Church was the incubator and nurturer for talent. You learn performance experience, pitch, dynamics, harmony and how to perform solo when called upon. The love for music is equal to the air we breath and the blood that runs throughout our veins. We see it no differently. We may even see it as being greater because the intake of air and the internal flow of blood is confined and cannot reach the masses or create a shift in the atmosphere in physical space like lyrics and music can.

What genre of music do you perform and why?

We perform an eclectic electrifying mix of Hip-POP with alternative rock influences.

And why did you choose that style of music?

The walls of creative segregation are coming down. Artists are allowed and appreciated across many spectrums that either previously did not exist or was taboo for an artist to branch out into. It is a reflection of the times we are in as well. It is also the independence of artists in direct-to-market strategy with the music buying consumer base. Independent artists are now their own A&R and determine and control their own marketing and promotion.

From vocal identity, performance agility and creative ability, these are others and few others represent the commitment to be unique.

How has your music evolved since you first began performing/songwriting?

Like most artists, you write and perform for the community in which you base resides or you wish to garner a fanbase. Early on we knew that we were a little different than most ATL artists. We knew we had a global flare and appeal. It was confirmed by the many comments and compliments received after our shows. We also knew we had to record music that represented what we as artists were longing for, which may have not been what everyone else in the ATL music scene was doing.

I’m sure you have shared the stage with a lot of talented artists/celebrities along the way. Would you share 1 or 2 of your favorite stories with us?

We were given the opportunity to open for PFunk Connection and widely successful underground artists FLYNT FLOSSY.

If you were forced to choose only one, which emotion, more than any other, drives you to stay in this tough business? Is it joy, anger, desire, passion or pride and why?

Passion! Where a man’s passion lies there also lies his treasure. Part of that treasure, we would want to also include JOY!

Which ingredient do you think makes you special and unique as an artist in an industry overflowing with new talent and ideas?

Self contained: Songwriting, Self-styled, Business Administration (Publishing & Other Registrations), Self-Financed.

What has been your biggest challenge as a performing artist? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?

Being different in a music city like ATL.

A common phrase in the industry is, “you must suffer for your art.” Do you agree with this statement? If so, how have you suffered for your art?

If you are smart, you don’t really have to suffer. Believe in yourself and invest in yourself. When you believe in yourself, nothing and no one can stop you. When you invest in yourself, you are going to make wise decisions with your money and you are going to promote and push hard for a return on that investment.

How do you feel the internet has impacted the music business?

Leveled the playing field.

If you could change anything about the music industry. What would it be?

Artists understand their value and worth in the beginning.

What are the 5 albums that have helped make you the person you are today?

Thriller, Purple Rain, Frontiers (Journey), 24K Majic -Bruno Mars, Culture - Migos
