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, Noreaga, 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, who featured Boo on the hit single, "Get Some," from Dupri’s 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 soon 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, Boo realized 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. Their debut album for Cash Money Records, Perfect Timing, was both a commercial and critical success and featured the hit single, “Ain’t It Man,” with Lil’ Wayne.

“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, Inc. and will continue to run his record label Mob Boss Entertainment. Boo’s solo album entitled 48 Minutes, is scheduled for release in 2008.
