In this electrifying episode of Artists Unveiled, we sit down with Aurélien Budynek, a guitarist whose resume reads like a music history timeline. Aurélien is the rare artist who has mastered the precision required for Broadway while retaining the raw energy of a rock legend.
As a go-to session and touring guitarist, Aurélien has collaborated with an astonishing range of projects, from bringing punk energy on tour with Marky Ramon (of The Ramones) to exploring deep, collective improvisation with the legendary drummer Cindy Blackman Santana. If you've been to a major theatrical production, you've likely heard his work, as he's held primary guitar chairs on some of the biggest shows in New York, including Back to the Future, the Tina Turner Musical, Hamilton, and Rock of Ages.
Join us as Aurélien shares the wisdom he gained on his journey from a small town outside Bordeaux, France, to the main stage in New York. He reveals his philosophy for success—"I don't force, I flow"—and discusses the financial realities of making a living solely from art, proving that supporting a family with music is, in his words, the ultimate measure of success. Get ready for an insightful deep dive into what it takes to thrive in the toughest corners of the music business.
