Baba Buffalo was born in a frigid Midwest blizzard. 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. In his late teens, his performance and compositions we're recognized in Downbeat Magazine. The road turned south of the equator at the turn of the 21st century where Baba spent a couple of summers touring Peru with his jazz trio.

The South American shores roared him north to Boston Harbor to the New England Conservatory of Music. After a trip to Europe, Baba heard the road call again, bringing the conservatory walls to a fall sooner than the four year call. The young Buffalo left Boston and moved to New York City, from where he toured the U.S. and the Maritimes of Canada. He has performed and recorded with many different musical groups in a variety of styles; opera, Sufi, hip-hop, jazz, classical, reggae, ragtime, folk, free and fusion to name a few. He has accompanied professional dance companies such as Alvin Alley and Martha Graham and has been a musical director with NDI New York since 2004, performing, teaching and musically directing dance residencies in New York City, Connecticut, Colorado & Mexico.

On an early June morning on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, outside the Java Girl, in front of the tennis ball lemon tree, Baba met his wife and life partner, Lizzie West and has been traveling on the road with their seeing Eye God, The Dharma Dog ever since. The next year the duo released, I Pledge Allegiance to Myself on a social justice label called Appleseed Records. The album received international recognition and had songs featured on Showtime's, The L Word and Democracy Now! Currently, he and his wife are working on producing an interactive folk opera cabaret and album called The Tumbleweed Cabaret, due for release in the fall of 2008. Baba is co-founder of Holy Road Tours Union (www.holyroadtours.org), a progressive arts and lifestyle co-op.
