Playing in the local rock scene in Atlanta, Washington DC, and New York elevated his stage shows and performance ideas. As a singer and guitarist, he has worked internationally as an artist and producer in Sweden, France, and the UK. Scoring award winning short films (Macarrão) or writing theme songs for shows (Dishing with Patricia), Buttermilk  remains actively creating and writing music.
