BuddyPress.org

Apologies if this is far too basic a question, but I am new to BuddyPress and have not figured out a way to do this.

This is the scenario:
1) We have a number of artists who use our site and will establish their own BuddyPress profiles. Thus let’s say there may be 500 BuddyPress profiles.
2) However, we (as the administrators), tend to publish most of the WordPress posts and thus are the “author” of those posts. Thus for argument sake let’s say there may only be 2 or 3 authors of the WordPress posts.

My question is: Is there a way for us to associate those WordPress posts with the related Buddypress profiles?

Thanks
