Buddy Wakefield is one of the most popular and richest Poet who was born on June 4, 1974 in Shreveport, Louisiana, United States.
Buddy Wakefield (born Kenneth Zane Beasley III) was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, then raised in Sanborn, New York and Baytown, Texas. He was adopted by a stepfather in 1980 and became Buddy Marshall Stevens. After eighteen years of no contact with the person who adopted him, Buddy chose his own last name, Wakefield, now his legal last name, which was pulled in an instance from the Weezer song, My Name is Jonas. Buddy thought the second half of the song began “My name is Wakefield. I’ve got a box full of your toys.” It turns out that Weezer’s guitarist, who wrote the song, was not saying Wakefield. He was saying Wepeel, the name of the guitarist’s sled from childhood.
Wakefield has released three full-length spoken word albums with best friend and producer Jon Berardi: A Stretch of Presence (1999) (co-produced with Levi Lyman), Run On Anything (2006) which was released by Strange Famous Records, and Live at the Typer Cannon Grand (2009) which was released by Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe Records. DiFranco first became aware of Wakefield when her mother saw him perform at an art gallery in Buffalo, New York, and gave DiFranco a print out of Wakefield’s website, saying, “You have to do something with this guy.” The album contains recordings of live performances, including several from Wakefield’s numerous tours opening for DiFranco, as well as one studio-produced track.
