Reggae Fusion from the Solomon Islands & Mortlock Island

Buad, an artist of Fataleka heritage from Malaita Island, Solomon Islands, and Mortlock Island (Takuu Atoll) roots, crafts a unique blend of reggae, hip-hop, and diverse influences, creating music that resonates with cultural pride, social awareness, and ancestral wisdom. A founding member of the renowned group 56 Hop Rod, he gained recognition with the chart-topping Street Intellectuals album and has collaborated with international artists, including Conkarah.

Now stepping forward as a solo artist, Buad is making a powerful impact with the release of his debut album, KEEPER. Signed with Royalty Music Group, he is bringing his unique sound and message to a global audience. Drawing from his roots and the powerful themes of freedom and resilience found in both reggae and hip-hop, KEEPER is more than an album—it's a movement. Through compelling storytelling, poetry-infused lyrics, and anthemic melodies, Buad’s sound bridges generations and cultures, solidifying his place in the global reggae scene.

With KEEPER now available, Buad is ready to share his message with the world. For interviews, features, and airplay, connect with us today.
