Artist Bio: Boogiie Byrd, Hip-Hop Artist, Master Mind Music Entertainment, Inc. There are many aspiring artists, rappers and musicians struggling to break into the hip-hop industry. But, for 24-year-old rising hip-hop artist, Boogiie Byrd, the foundation for breaking into the industry was laid out early by his musically-talented family members right here in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, also known as the DMV. He is now set to release his latest project, 16-track, “On The Way Up” album, to demonstrate what musical art in hip-hop is really about. “Growing up with a father as a producer had many advantages. I was always exposed to music because it was in my house — I literally couldn’t get away from it!” says Boogiie. “I would picture myself on the mic rapping the lyrics to a song that I had written. As I got older, I realized my interest in music was being manifested deep within.” As a 16-year-old student at Dr. Henry A. Wise High School in Prince George’s County, Maryland, he was approached to write and perform a jingle for a well-known and locally supported Eastern Motors (which almost exclusively uses Redskins team players as actors). He wrote and recorded the jingle in less than 24 hours—the same pace as he writes his music today. In 2011, Boogiie was introduced to Lawrence “Sonny” Brooks , former producer and engineer for Murder, Inc.. Underneath Sonny’s record label Master Mind Music, Boogiie has written and produced six mix-tapes like “Simply Art,” featuring tracks like “Facin’ 40,” a very real-life depiction of a young 21-year-old facing 40 years in jail. In his latest project, “For The Moment” Boogiie is most proud of “Close My Eyes” while local radio personalities are already calling “Doing Something Right,” and “Being Me,” hit records. From open to close, no song is the same in what Boogiie calls a “mind-adventure” with inspirational and vibrant old school, hip-hop and R&B/rap. “I feel like my daughter’s my biggest fan, she’s always dancing to my music. She’s the one who makes me shrive.” His music is described as simply art — no song is the same. Number four is nothing like number one. It’s very versatile. Boogiie has recently released his hit single “Doing Something Right” on MTV Jams in July 2015; that has over 300K views on VeVo and over 260K on Youtube. The success of this single has given Boogiie the opportunity to open up for a few well renown artists such as Juvenile, Shy Glizzy and various features like Black Child and Tabi Bonney. “The only word I can think of is EPIC. I feel like everything just comes to life. We’re trying to change DC rap and just bring back music,” says Boogiie. <a href=' ' target='_blank'> </a> #
