BUDDY WAKEFIELD is an actor, writer, producer, and three-time world champion spoken word artist featured on the BBC, HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, ABC Radio National and has been signed to both Sage Francis’ Strange Famous Records [https://www.strangefamousrecords.com/] as well as Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe Records [https://www.righteousbabe.com/]. In 2004 he won the first Individual World Poetry Slam Finals thanks to the support of anthropologist and producer Norman Lear [http://www.normanlear.com/], then went on to share the stage with nearly every notable performance poet in the world in over 2000 venues internationally from The Great Lawn of Central Park, Zimbabwe’s Shoko Festival and Scotland’s Oran Mor to San Quentin State Penitentiary, House of Blues New Orleans and The Basement in Sydney, Australia.

Buddy has been a busker in Amsterdam, a street vendor in Spain, a team leader in Singapore, a re-delivery boy, a candy maker, a street sweeper, a bartender, a maid, a construction worker, a bull rider, a notably slow triathlete, a facilitator at Quantum Learning Network, and is the most toured performance poet in history. He is the founder of Awful Good Writers [https://www.buddywakefield.com/bio/awfulgoodwriters.com/], and the producer and host of Heavy Hitters Festival 2020 [https://www.buddywakefield.com/bio/awfulgoodwriters.com/], a summer-long series of online shows and workshops featuring thirty of the most beloved performance poets alive.

The inaugural author released on Write Bloody Publishing [https://writebloody.com/], and having served on the original Board of Directors for Youth Speaks Seattle [https://youthspeaks.org/bravenewvoices/organizations/youth-speaks-seattle-a-program-of-arts-corps/], Buddy is published in dozens of books internationally with work used to win multiple national collegiate debate and forensics competitions. His first short film, Farmly [https://youtu.be/ucsEiwYa_5g], directed by Jamie DeWolf [https://www.jamiedewolf.com/], won Best of Texas at the Literally Short Film Fest [https://literallyshort.com/festivals/2019/], and the USA Film Festival [http://www.usafilmfestival.com/].

In the spring of 2001 Buddy left his position as the executive assistant at a biomedical firm in Gig Harbor, WA, sold or gave away everything he owned, moved to the small town of Honda Civic, then set out to live for a living. His aim was to tour North American poetry venues for two years. He did not stop. Wakefield, who isn’t concerned with what poetry is or is not, delivers raw, rounded, disarming performances of humor and heart.
