Brendan Buckley was born in Morristown, New Jersey on March 13, 1974, to his Korean mother Soon Ja Kim, and his Irish-American father Dennis Buckley. 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 Mt. Arlington Public School (MAPS) in Mt. Arlington. He then went to Roxbury High School and graduated with the Class of 1992.
At the age of 18, he packed his car 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 (the papa) for his "Tango" tour. Brendan ended this tour to record an album for the Colombian popstar Shakira; an album that became "Dónde Están Los Ladrones". 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 Jr, Alejandra Guzmán, Alih Jey, Zach Zisken, The Kind, Popvert, Clambake 2000, Monte Rosa, B.D.
