Regarding the EP, Buppy. says, “a lot of who I am can be traced back to the ski town where I was raised. The simplicity, the scenery—it was my own slice of heaven. I took my first steps there, experienced my first love, lost my first love- I learned almost everything I know in that town. Though it continues to grow and change, drifting further from what I remember, I can never grow out of it.”
