Cruel Buddhist is a Shanghai based Lofi and Funk beat maker from the USA. Since moving to China in 2014 he has become renowned for his multi-instrumental live sets around the country opening for the likes of MNDSGN and BudaMunk.
Known for videos showcasing his SP-404 skills in scenic naturescapes, Cruel Buddhist credits Zen Buddhist philosophy and his neuro-divergent ADHD perception as the influences for his relaxed multi-layered instrumentals. His music won inclusion in Shanghai’s HIMA Art Museum, was featured on Lufthansa Airlines, and supported by brands like Carhart, Converse, and Puma.
“Cruel Buddhist’s sound lands somewhere between (Brian) Eno’s ambient tinkles and the experimental, instrumental trip-hop of Flying Lotus, Quantic, and Bonobo.” —Tim Pritchard, Discovery Magazine
