Vudu Childe

Vudu Childe is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist born and raised in Reno, Nevada and currently sharing his vibrant blend of soulful vocals and electrifying guitar riffs around the Midwest and South. “Six String Slinging” inspired by the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, and Mark Knopfler; with vocal stylings pulling heavily from soulful crooners like Al Green and Luther Vandross, as well as rockers such as Steven Tyler and Robert Plant. Vudu Childe has been singing since he can remember, writing since about age 13, and picked up a guitar for the first time at age 15.

His music—a fusion of blues, soul, rock, and country western—invokes a sound compared to modern musicians such as Hozier, Kaleo, and Gary Clark Jr. Drawing from spiritual and literary themes as well as his own personal experiences, his lyrics invite you to delve deeper into his musical universe. 

Vudu Childe is the 1st place winner of the 2024 Cincy Blues Challenge (solo/duo division) and the 1st place winner of The Belle & The Bear’s The Voice competition.
