BIG BUZZ

GFM: How long have you been in the music industry and has music always been a part of your life?

BB:Honestly I'm just now kicking the door down, rubbing shoulders with the right people,its who u know in how bad u really want it! I've always made music for my homies. Get drunk freestyle record in a closet here in there but never took it serious, money was my only priority! I was wrapped up in drugs in just living the fast life! I've always been a fan of hip hop, rock,country, and blues u name it, I love music! I have a sound track for each part of my life.

GFM: How did you come up with your name?

BB: Anybody that knows me from the bricks and the streets it was Wu. Buzz is the nickname my mom gave me, it stated as buzzy and when I got older it was just buzz or big buzz, so its deeply rooted for that reason. Family didn't even know my real name was mike.So my mom named me right because I love to catch a buzz! LOL.

GFM: Whether you’re an actor, musician, or artist, I imagine it is hard for anyone to break out into mainstream America. What have been your struggles and triumphs in the business? Are you interested in venturing to markets overseas?

BB: I haven't dropped my album yet titled Life of a Junky due out in January. I'm creating a Big Buzz because I'm actually interacting with the people in the industry. I've opened for Afro-man in Daytona so shout out to the fro, and I did the Hemp Fest in Vegas in performed on top of the hustler building out there for a vip after party. Shout out to T wallace and Chili. I'm doing everything I can to get out there and let them hear me live and that is an experience in its self. Shout out to my hype man Slim Pikins! My struggles are more with addiction then anything I'm my own worst enemy. As far as traveling over seas I would love to but I'm a felon so I may not be able to that but I plan on taking over the states 1st I'm hungry in ready to eat!!
