Hi folks, my name is Kevin (a.k.a. Budakid). I've been surfing in the industry for almost 20 years (damn, time flies). After my two graduations - the first one in media design and the other one in music - I moved on with these expressions. Besides the releases that people recognise me for on labels like Siamese, Lost&Found, Watergate and Flores, I also had an electronic-jazz band, programmed my own synths, organised events and did music for advertisement. Currently I'm also doing more design, branding and conceptual brainstorming. I'm sailing a DIY ship, and that's also the thing I believe in. As I've been educated in music theory, the technical aspect (producing), branding, design and performing. I would be more than happy to pass on my knowledge and inspire you to create something that you can identify with.

Book Private Session

To dive deeper into projects, idea's, strategies and technical aspects I would like to offer you a 1-on-1 session. In these sessions I can reflect my 20 year of experience and knowledge on your career and musical ideas. While doing my bachelors in Music years ago, I noticed these 1-on-1 sessions were the key for my own personal development. That's why I want to offer this also to you - because I know how valuable it can be to talk about music related things with someone educated.

    Thanks for the feedback, Kevin! I will defintely try to add some rides in the background and bring more character to the synths with some analog drive! Thanks for the tips. Cheers
