Hi, I'm Charles, President of Blue Buddha Entertainment.
I love music. And I love discovering the next great song.
I started out at Capitol Records in the 90s, working on marketing campaigns for Al Green and Ringo Starr.
In 2002, I formed Blue Buddha Entertainment, a music licensing firm specializing in working with independent artists. My passion is working with indie artists, supporting them as they find their lane and getting them their first (of many!) syncs across media outlets.

"Blue Buddha has some great indie bands in its catalogue - from your typical pop-rock to moody female to brit rock to hip hop with an old school feel! And they really try to be ahead of the curve. They are easy to work with and open to different pricing rates, which is helpful as each project's budget is different. "
