Songwriter, pianist, musical director, illustrator, activist, producer, gardener and blogger, Baba Buffalo, is a renaissance man. He was born in a frigid Midwestern blizzard of 1982. Growing up, he listened to the sounds of jazz, blues, trees, the news and first began singing Mozart's "The Magic Flute" at age two. Baba grew through many shoes that led him 'cross the great lake of Michigan to the 'between two lakes', of Interlochen Arts Academy. In his late teens, his performance and compositions we're recognized in Downbeat Magazine. In the summer of 2000 and 2001, Baba toured Peru with his jazz trio performing his compositions from Lima to Pisco.

Baba went on to study at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. After a trip to Europe, Baba heard the road call again, bringing the conservatory years to a close. The young Mr. Buffalo left Boston and moved to New York City, from where he toured the U.S. and Canada. He has performed and recorded with many different musical groups in a variety of styles ranging from opera, Sufi, hip-hop, jazz, classical, reggae, ragtime, folk, free and fusion. He has accompanied professional dance companies such as Alvin Alley and Martha Graham. Baba has been a musical director with National Dance Institute of New York since 2004, performing, teaching and musically directing dance residencies in New York City, Connecticut, Colorado & Mexico.

On an early June morning in New York City, Baba met his wife, Lizzie West and has been traveling on the road with her, and their Dharma Dog, ever since. In 2007, the duo released, I Pledge Allegiance to Myself on social justice label Appleseed Records. The album received international recognition and had songs featured on Showtime's, The L Word and Democracy Now! After a year of national touring, they released a follow up double-disk live album, The Tumbeweed Cabaret, in 2008 and spent the summer touring with former chief UN Weapons Inspector, Scott Ritter.

Baba lives with his wife Lizzie and the Dharma Dog in Connecticut. He has recently found a new passion drawing house portraits in pen and ink.
