[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
Brendan Buckley (nickname: Teriyakiboy) was born in Morristown, New Jersey on March 13, 1974, to his Korean mother Soon Ja Kim, and his Irish-American father Dennis Buckley.[1] His early formal musical education on piano and trumpet came from public schools, while later learning the drums from the father/son teaching team of Sonny and Tommy Igoe. He attended Roxbury High School and graduated with the Class of 1992.
[edit] From College to Music Career
At the age of 18, he packed his Ford Escort and moved to Miami, Florida to attend the University of Miami´s School of Music. While there, he became immersed in the city's diverse rock, latin, and jazz scenes. At the time of graduation, he released an album and toured with the rock band Fulano De Tal (BMG), featuring singer/songwriter Elsten Torres. A year later, he played drums with Julio Iglesias, Sr. for his "Tango" tour. Brendan left this tour to record an album for the Colombian popstar Shakira. Since then, he has done four more albums and three tours with the South American artist. During that span of years, Brendan also found time to record with DMX, Lauren Hill, Gloria Estefan, Spam All-Stars, Nil Lara, Mariana Ochoa, Julio Iglesias, Alejandra Guzman, Alih Jey, Zach Zisken, The Kind, Popvert, Clambake 2000, Monte Rosa, B.D. Lenz, Diane Ward, Raw B. Jae, Sixo, Pedro Suarez Vertiz, Soledad, Natalia Oriero, Fernando Osorio, Alicastro, Leo Quintero, Gayle Ritt, Pete Masitti, Shalim, and Maria Bestár.

Brendan has managed to keep his private life out of the public eye.
[edit] The Present
In 2004, Brendan moved to Los Angeles to experience life "west-coast style". Over the past three years, he has continued to write and produce with Shakira and Fulano, while also performing and recording with artists such as: the irish folk/rock artist Damien Rice, Volumen Cero, experimental rock band Pedestrian, actress/songwriter Minnie Driver, heart-throb Michael Miller, Wyclef Jean, Gary Jules, Peter Bradley Adams, the lovely Kristin Mooney, Peter Himmelman, key-master Rami Jaffee, Laura Jansen, Susie Suh, Cherie, Michael Mangia, Richard Page, Brie Larson, Jimena, Devil Doll, Sheila Nicholls, Cameron Jaymes, Zak Schaffer, Shira Myrow, Jennifer Peña, Kelly Sweet, Benny Strange, and Brandi Flores (plus doing TV commercial jingles for Reebok, Pepsi, Hyundai, Marshalls, and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter).
