Endie Fiya: LIVE with Southern Soul & Blues Singer ~ Buddy Luv

Meet Buddy Luv, born Travis Boyd from Augusta, Georgia. Raised in Aiken, South Carolina, Travis' passion for true Blues music has always been a love affair. Inspired by his favorite, blues singers, like James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Marvin Sease, Al Green, Teddy Pendergrass, and Aretha Franklin gave him the courage to start doing Southern Soul music of his own. That's when Travis fell in love with the power to make a person feel good about their self. He says, "I love to have fun, party and dance. That was the biggest thing as a child growing up. My grandparents raised me with 16 kids of their own, so every weekend we would cook out and listen and dance to music. What so much fun it was." So now Buddy Luv wants to change the way we interact with our family, the people & fans alike. He wants to bring people together as a whole to love each other and cherish each others lives. The good memories never go away and Buddy Luv wants that to comfort us at our trying times. Travis wants us to go beyond the knowledge of surviving with a smile from hope. Buddy Luv is looking to make a long lasting impression. His ultimate goal is to give back to the community and open up some shelters for the homeless and invest in affordable housing. "Always ready to give back and support his community" is the motto that Buddy Luv was raised with, and that kind of upbringing is cherished to this day.
