Bio.



Born and raised on the Westside of Chicago, music sort of found Boo. In the summer of 1999, while hanging with a few close friends at a downtown McDonalds, Boo bumped into R. Kelly, and the rest is history. He was later featured on R. Kelly's multi-platinum selling album R. on the hit single "We Ride" featuring Jay-Z, Noriega, and Camron. Shortly after, Boo was featured on R. Kelly's multi-platinum selling album, TP2.com on the chart topping smash hits "I Wish" remix, "Fiesta", and the "Fiesta" Remix featuring Jay-Z.



That was only the beginning. His talents and unique Chi-Town style gained the attention of Jermaine Dupri and he was later featured on the hit single "Get Some" on the platinum selling album "Instructions". He was also featured on Ja Rule's hit single “World Wide Gangstas” from the very successful "Pain is Love" album. Boo was rising fast into the business, and he caught the attention of Cash Money Records. In 2001, they offered him a deal and he accepted.



Soon afterward he was featured on the smash single "Oh Yeah" from the platinum selling “Big Tymers’” Album "Hood Rich". Reflecting back on all his success, he realizes that he wanted to put out his own album, but not without the help of a close friend. In 2003, the dynamic duo Boo & Gotti was formed and with it came the hit single "Ain’t It Man" featuring “Lil’ Wayne” from the critically acclaimed debut album "Perfect Timing" of 2004. Although the record was a hit, due to creative differences Boo requested to be released from his contract with Cash Money. To his surprise, he had become a successful music artist.



"My biggest and best accomplishment is all the influential people I have been blessed to work with, and I know there are many more to come. Music was something that I never really could see myself having great passion for, but for the love of music is why I do it. " -Boo



After his release from Cash Money, he took the opportunity to work on his solo album. He is now signed to 404 Music Network and will continue to run his record label Mob Boss entertainment. Boo's solo album, 48 Minutes, is scheduled for release on May 19th, 2009.
