Little Buddha

Little Buddha - BIOG 2012
From deep within their very own secret world come the cinematic sounds of Little Buddha. Founded by innovative jazz bassist Grant Tyrie and singer lyricist Kat McDonald, joined by keyboard player FerGus Black and drummer Ian Anderson. Little Buddha have a unique bass and electronics led sound with an irresistible groove, topped by an alternately soaring yet intimate vocal delivery, hypnotising the listener.
Little Buddha have used their self-imposed isolation from the dull and dismal cliches of the mainstream music business to develop a truly unique, sultry, vision and sound, influenced by the likes of Bjork, old-school trip hop, Jaco Pastorius, and the great John Barry.
Having now dealt with the big bad world of the macrocosm, with extensive national tours of both the UK and the US under their own steam, Little Buddha have spent this year becoming masters of the microcosm
Leaping directly into the future (where you will spend the rest of your lives), via the exciting new frontier of YouTube, Little Buddha have typically taken full control:
having attained YouTube Partnership within 6 weeks of launch of 'littlebuddhatv' channel, the first independent Scottish band to do so this is indeed unprecedented!
Entered YouTube UK music charts:
· - #69 Top Favourited (ahead of Muse, Coldplay & Tinie Tempah)
· - #96 Top Rated
· - #95 Most viewed
