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.

As an artist, DJ and producer hailing from Chicago’s notorious South Side community, Elektrohorse is no stranger to the struggles of the common man and woman. Despite his humble beginnings, he has always been driven by the ideal that in America, hard work and dedication are the keys to success. This dedication to achievement has created a multitude of opportunities for Elektrohorse, including collaborations with some of the industry’s top talent (Will.I.Am, Nicki Minaj, Cowboy Troy, Willie jones and Timbaland among others).

 Although he's been blessed with continuous success throughout his career, Elektrohorse has never forgotten his humble, Midwestern roots. As a result, he formed his own movement, “The Party Don’t Care”. As founder of TPDC, he has always been deeply committed to promoting messages of love, unity and peace. It was this commitment to the aforementioned principles that fostered the inspiration for his most heartfelt record to date, S.T.O.M.P.

He is the primary practitioner of a hybrid sound he calls CDM — country dance music. The style seamlessly fuses country instrumentation with funk, hip-hop and electronic dance beats — a combination that has fueled mainstream country hits for years. It’s topflight entertainment, whose purpose mostly seems to be sheer enjoyment. Still, despite the fun and frolic in his songs and videos, there’s a serious side to Elektrohorse.

“I really see music as a way of bringing people together, of being a source of unity,” Elektrohorse tells the Scene. “When I came to Nashville, I found the right atmosphere of cooperation and musical interest, and it’s proven the right move.”
