Introduction
Buffy is a Freestyle/Pop/Electronica singer from Fremont, CA. She is of Filipino descent.

And for those out there who are wondering, YES, her real name is Buffy =) Buffy's parents had named her after the little girl on the TV show, "Family Affair." Buffy started singing at the age of about three years old. She then later went on to sing in the church choir at the age of eight.

Buffy was 'discovered' by DADGEL ATABAY (better known as the co-producer of such great freestyle artists as JAYA & STEVIE B.) while she was performing at a friend's wedding. After meeting up at the wedding, DADGEL then met up with FRANCISCO PARDOLA who later started the label VELOCITY RECORDS. DADGEL and FRANCISCO had asked her to record a song that DADGEL had written entitled "GIVE ME A REASON," which later became Buffy's first single release and first hit.

This smash debut single also has received an overwhelming response from the dance music community with its crossover success, which eventually led to its rise in Billboard's Hot 100 chart. A full-length album later followed called "FIRST LOVE." Other hits to have come out from this album includes the singles "First Love" (a pop ballad duet with Christian Macalino), "NO ONE," and "2 FIND U."

After a string of well noted singles, Buffy decided to leave Velocity Records in early 1998 for personal reasons. Although there is no word as of yet as to whether Buffy plans on coming back to the music scene, she is currently enjoying having achieved many other things in her personal life and also enjoying spending time with her family.
