In the vibrant and tumultuous streets of Buffalo, New York, an artist emerged from the depths of adversity to share a profound message through his music. Meet MUDBROTHERBENTLEY, a resilient individual whose life experiences have shaped not only his character but also the unique sound he brings to the music industry.
From a troubled childhood marked by expulsion from every school and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder at the tender age of 10, MUDBROTHERBENTLEY faced challenges that could easily break a spirit. Growing up with a mother battling multiple personality disorder and a tumultuous family dynamic, he found solace in music, an art form that would become his salvation.
The journey to self-discovery was marked by traumatic events, including witnessing his autistic brother’s struggle with epilepsy and surviving a gunshot at the age of 15. The bullet pierced through his lung and liver, narrowly missing his heart. It was during this pivotal moment that MUDBROTHERBENTLEY decided to channel his pain into music.
In 2015, he released his first song, “Jugging & Finessing,” on SoundCloud, which, despite initial setbacks, ignited a passion for music. The turning point came in 2017 with the hits “Someway” and “Stressing.” Unfortunately, discouragement led to the removal of these tracks, but not before proving his potential. A hiatus followed, lasting three years, during which he continued to write, preparing for a triumphant return.
The resurgence in 2021 saw the release of singles like “Toxic,” “Still Aint Diss,” and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.” The pinnacle was reached with the powerful “Long Road,” a song that marked a shift in his artistic approach. Subsequent releases, including “Moving Different” and the Atlanta-acclaimed “Oh Alright,” showcased MUDBROTHERBENTLEY’s versatility and earned him recognition at the UglyMoney Music Summit.
Not content with singular successes, MUDBROTHERBENTLEY continued to push boundaries. His album, “EXORDIUM,” dropped on his 26th birthday, featuring 10 tracks, including the visually captivating “Real Gnarly” and “Pho Pt 1.” The latter offers a glimpse into his personal life, highlighting his multicultural family and roots in the skater culture he embraced during his diverse upbringing.
Having earned $500 for a featured spot and securing a notable second place at the UglyMoney Music Summit, MUDBROTHERBENTLEY’s journey is one of perseverance and triumph against all odds. His philosophy, “Stress only exists if you let it,” underscores his resilience and determination to overcome obstacles.
Looking forward, MUDBROTHERBENTLEY envisions collaborations with industry greats and aspires to build generational wealth through his music. With an upcoming EP titled “Love In The Trenches” set to release on February 14th, he continues to promote his brand, focusing on the art and business aspects of his musical journey.
