Profile - Boo Williams

Filed under: — AP @ 11:55 pm

Boo Williams was born and raised in Chicago growing up on the south side…where alot of the heavy hitters come from. Born in ‘67, His musical expressions are inspired by the seventies era from disco to some of the best jazz he could ever listen to back then. Influences like Patrice Adams, Roy Ayers, The Tramps, Gil Scott Heron and Captain Sky - his heroes from back then.In the early 80s Boo started to take his spinning seriously and started playing in Chicago at some of the hottest spots such as hotels like the Bismarck, Ascott, Congress and clubs like the Powerhouse, where legends like Lil’ Louis, Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy were performing. Not long after that another person stepped up to the plate - Mr. Fingers aka Larry Heard. He set the standards for Chicago house music with hits like “A Path", “Can You Feel It?", “Waterfall", “Bring Down The Walls", “Mysteries of Love” and “A Corner Called Jazz.” He is the reason for Boo making music today.

Glenn Underground and Tim Harper welcomed Boo with open arms into their group, Strictly Jazz Unit, who are to this day his true family. Boo thanks especially those people who support his music: clubs, record stores, labels, great producers and DJs all over the world.

  1. Shouldn’t I join the ranks of academic philosophers and merely make unsubstantiated claims about the wonders of human consciousness? Shouldn’t I stop trying to do some science and keeping my head down? Indeed not. by texas holdem
