Buddahead Tickets

Buddahead is the project of Raman Kia, a singer-songwriter rooted in New York City who channels indie rock with pop and alternative textures. Known for intimate lyrics, expansive melodies, and a thoughtful approach to recording, Buddahead has shaped a quiet yet enduring presence in underground and indie circles. While the live touring of the mid-2000s is in the past, Buddahead continues to write and record, keeping the artistic momentum alive.

Raman Kia, an Iranian-born musician, crafts songs that blend earnest storytelling with synth-draped guitar work, drawing attention for melodies that linger beyond the first listen. Buddahead’s work has often drawn comparisons to early Radiohead and lighter Coldplay-era tones, but the project maintains a distinct voice grounded in songcraft and atmosphere.

As a project, Buddahead offers a window into a songwriter’s evolving process—moving from bold, full-band ambitions to a more focused, studio-centered approach. Fans and new listeners can explore a catalog that reflects both past studio albums and ongoing creative experiments.

Discography highlights include the 2008 release Ashes (Fear Of Cheese Records), and the 2004 album Crossing the Invisible Line ( Sanctuary). The standout single When I Fall originally appeared on Crossing the Invisible Line and was later revisited as When I Fall (Live at Sun Studio, Memphis) in 2011. Buddahead’s journey includes a notable early-career live presence, with appearances at major festivals such as Bonnaroo in 2003. Today, the artist continues to write and record, keeping the creative flame alive even as touring activity has slowed.
