Today we’d like to introduce you to Boog!.
Hi Boog!, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
It all started in the womb, and to the tomb, I’ll be thorough. Moms brought a king in this world, East Point was our borough. I spent my younger years learning from my trauma. Stepdad abusive, but one day he’ll get his karma. These self-esteem issues who instituted these? It took a lot of time to understand my insecurities. Did I cry? Always. But giving up, I did hardly. Brought my spirit from the dark to the light like surprise parties. Found my purpose in an imperfect person. Still defined by what they say not yet my own wording. Getting older but depression never left my side. I just couldn’t always see her cause of how she slide. Until that day, she finally hit her stride, inside started replacing her for my pride. And just like that, I fought so hard just to fall right back.
But I’m still fighting for myself to the death.
Cause the younger generation needs our help.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It hasn’t but I don’t regret anything I’ve gone through and I wouldn’t change anything that happened because I had to learn my lessons the way God intended for me too. I’ve become a lot more spiritual over the years. Everything from losing close friends and family by ways of betrayal and cancer and everything inbetween to having music stolen from me and paintings destroyed its been a very impressive life lesson.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I paint, I write, I record music; everything I do to some extent is an art form. I truly embody the spirit of an artist. I wake up first thing in the morning and I think about creating. I imagine a world made of my creations and imagine what steps could get me there without compromising my integrity as an artist. And I’m known for that, people will bump into me after years and still hear I’m even more fierce with the pen, and they might not see me for months at a time but I’ll post my masterpieces when I’m comfortable and I let people see that side of me as well. I’m very proud of myself to get to a level of comfortability to be able to share and in turn, I’m grateful and proud of every creation I’ve ever made. Even the ones I don’t necessarily love the most, I’m still thankful and proud of them.
There is a lot that sets me apart from others but I feel as if I have given a sense of what that might feel like by what I’ve already said.
Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
No role we don’t believe in luck because we know it to be a construct of the human mind that allows us to dwindle away in the shadows of our own potential. We believe that a higher power has control over our outer world but that he also bestowed a great power on to us to shape our realities as our mental state sees fit, so luck is essentially something I manifested somehow.
