This TV/radio personality, actor, and recording artist was born and raised on the south side of Chicago and began his on-air radio career at a young age. On Thanksgiving Day 1994 Buda blessed the airways under the moniker "Spank Boogie/Buda" at Chicago's first hip hop radio station 106 Jamz. He has been credited for being one of the originators of the Chicago hip hop scene by Hip Hop Weekly magazine. Buda's addiction to fame lead him on a journey to control the airways at major market radio stations around the country including 107.5 WGCI Chicago, V100 Milwaukee, 101.3 KGOT Anchorage, Power 92 Chicago, 100.3 The Beat Columbia, Z92.3 Killeen, Power 104 Hartford, 97.9 KISS Jacksonville, and Detroit's Hit Music Channel 955. Club appearances, radio imaging, hosting events, commercial production, and voice overs are just a few of the talents deliverable from Buda. You may have heard him on a national radio commercial, seen him at an event in your city, or heard him on the microphone in your favorite club.

Buda's addiction to fame was always present as a child and the presence of a music mogul emerged before he became a radio personality. Performing in talent shows, song writing, and music production lead him to release his first major CD release in 2000. He also toured the orient performing in Beijing, China and Tokyo, Japan.

No stranger to the big screen Buda appeared on various television programs, magazines, and movies such as Know Your Heritage, Backstabbers (Trust), Fox 2 News Detroit, Ebony Magazine, and Wendy Williams "Queen of Media." In April of 2011 Buda relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a full time acting career, immediately landing roles and securing his position as a working actor.

thEntertainmentcompany (T.E.C) is the brainchild of Buda along with his sister and label mate celebrity chef and recording artist "Lovely" Who has appeared on Fox TV's "Hell's Kitchen," Logo TV's "Ru Paul's Drag U," and Food Network TV's "Food Network Star." He holds many offices within the T.E.C empire including owner, president, artist, and manager. Specializing in music, cuisine, television, radio, and film.
