Pedro Pérez, better known as Budú, is a Venezuelan artist who has made a significant impact in almost all branches of art. Born on June 18, 1975, in Caracas, Venezuela, Budú's journey began at the end of the 1990s when he co-founded the musical duo Vagos y malasantes with Nigga.
Growing up in the San José Cotiza neighborhood, a gray and impoverished area, Budú was exposed to a world of misery, poverty, drugs, violence, and crime. Despite these challenging surroundings, he was fortunate to have loved ones who encouraged him to pursue his passion for music and dance.
Budú's early days were marked by listening to Michael Jackson and dancing breakdancing to his songs. As he grew older, he discovered his talent and passion for art, taking refuge in music and dance as a means of escape from his difficult environment.
After forming Vagos y malasantes, Budú and his group mates were joined by renowned singer and producer Tony Armas (Thirteen) to create the group 3 Owners. Their musical chemistry was undeniable, and their talent as a group led them to represent Venezuela in international stages.
Budú's artistic journey has been nothing short of remarkable, with successful stints in theater, television, music, and cinema. His film debut in "Secuestro Express" broke box office records in Venezuela, cementing his status as a multifaceted artist.
Today, Budú is one of the most important figures in Venezuela, with a high-quality musical proposal that fuses Hip Hop, Rap, and DanceHall rhythms with an incomparable stage presence. His group has the ability to put everyone who listens to them to dance, making him a true icon in the Venezuelan music scene.
Budú's international projection is thanks to his impeccable performance in the film "Hands of Stone," alongside Édgar Ramírez, Robert De Niro, Rubén Blades, and Usher. He has proven himself to be a talented artist who can excel in multiple genres, from music to film.
