Ashland, KY, USA

Bad Buddha is a lesbian independent artist, songwriter, and producer carving out her own space in the modern music landscape. Emerging from Appalachia, she turns isolation, ambition, heartbreak, self-discovery, and unapologetic confidence into music that refuses to stay inside a single genre. Her sound moves freely between pop, electronic, hip-hop, and darker alternative influences, pairing polished production with emotionally direct songwriting. Whether she’s creating an intimate love song or an aggressive, high-energy anthem, her music is rooted in the same philosophy: vulnerability and power can exist in the same place. Much of her work comes from the experience of creating a life and career far from the traditional centers of the music industry. Rather than allowing geography or circumstance to define her trajectory, she has embraced independence as part of her identity. With an evolving sound and an artist-first approach, she remains authentic and doesn’t play small.
