“Mummy calls me Buntun… So I must be Buntun…”
Buntun is an Alt R&B artist crafting soul music for people who don’t say everything out loud. Born in Wolverhampton and raised in South London, his sound is shaped by a childhood of contradictions: beatboxing cousins, car karaoke with his mum, dancehall blaring from his dad’s speakers, and English class poetry written with a crush in mind.
That mix shows up in the music — moody, groove-heavy songs with soft-spoken vocals and lyrics that sit in the grey areas of love, grief, masculinity, and memory. Fans of Frank Ocean, Dijon, or Brent Faiyaz will find echoes — but Buntun’s tone is its own: tender, textured, and grounded in lived experience.
Self-taught and emotionally driven, Buntun’s debut album *13.6.13* introduced a sound that feels handmade, honest, and heavy with intention. He’s not here for hype — he’s here for the listener who actually listens.
