About J Boog

Growing up in the rough streets of Compton, Boog credits the strong sense of tradition and culture he absorbed from his family of Samoan ancestry with being instrumental in keeping him off the streets and on his path to a successful music career. Boog’s south central swag and Hawaiian hang loose attitude comes out in his brand, combining authentic island music with genuine Jamaican reggae, making for a potent blend.

J. Boog is a man of many influences. At the age of four, after hearing his older sister playing the piano, he developed an interest and started watching her and learning about music. Soon, J was singing along to the notes & melodies he heard his sister play. A while later, she brought home a Bob Marley song book. Even at this young age, J knew Bob’s name and his music. Upon hearing his sister begin to play, something clicked inside J. He hasn’t been the same since.

The first time J Boog performed in front of an audience, he was nine years old. It was a large family reunion at a church and there were about 200 people present. J’s mother and sister insisted for him to sing Whitney Houston’s “One Moment In Time” and J obliged them. Though he was nervous, it went quite well.

J. Boog’s music career became serious in 2005, when a couple of brothers from his neighborhood brought him to one of J’s favorite artists, George “Fiji” Veikoso”. The two began working together immediately and J ended up moving to Hawaii in 2006 to continue developing his craft. After releasing his debut album “Hear Me Roar” in 2007, he joined the musical family Wash House Music Inc, a record label based in Hawaii and San Francisco.

A year later, in 2008, J Boog met Gramps Morgan of Morgan Heritage and there was an instant chemistry. Gramps was keen on working with J, and set out to make a way. Shortly after, Gramps, J Boog and other Wash House family members were in Jamaica recording in such prestigious places as Bob Marley’s “Tuff Gong” Studio, Don Corleone’s “Hit Maker”, Bobby Digital’s “Digital B”, Shaggy’s “Big Yard”, Sugar Minott’s “Youth Man Promotion” and more.

The results are apparent when listening to Boog’s new music. It is authentic Island Music and genuine Jamaican reggae at the same time. Truly a new and exciting combination. There is a natural theme to Boog’s writing: love. It recurs throughout his work and never once seems contrived. When you listen, you will feel he truly knows matters of the heart.

These days Boog is either in a studio, on a stage or catching a flight. Radio interviews have become a daily thing and it’s a little overwhelming for the young artist, though he has been smart enough to keep his humility. He has a great sense of humor and an even better sense of reality. He can be overheard saying how blessed he is on a daily basis. It’s easy to see why J. Boog has been winning over fans when you meet him. He has the right spirit and attitude to carry him to the next level.
