Good Evening Bloggers,
Recently I met with none other than the male duo Boog and Fizz (formerly of B2K). I have to say that my reaching out and getting a response was completely unexpected. I am extremely glad and blessed that they decided to meet with me and discuss some of the positive things that they currently have going on in their lives. Please take a gander at the interview below.
JL: Last I read, you both were working on solo projects. How did you guys end up working together on your latest CD?
Fizz: We have been best friends since we were 12. We also have always loved doing music. We decided to start our own label, Popular Entertainment, about two year ago. After we started the label and were looking with other artist, Boog said we should do our own CD and it just kind of went from their.
JL: How would you describe the music on Nightlife, your new CD?
Boog: It's mature, sexy, energetic with a good club feel. It is night life. It embodies everything that is nightlife.
JL: If you were not making music, what other career would you be pursuing?
Fizz: We both are competitive. It would have to be something competitive like sports.
JL: Whats your favorite sport?
Boog: Football, love it
Fizz: Basketball for me.
JL: What inspires you guys to get out of bed every day and continue in the music business?
Boog: Our fans. We are competitive people. It is like going to practice for me. I have to hone my skills by waking up, getting out of bed and working on my music. I can't do anything but that. It is my life. I have wanted this since I was a kid.
Fizz: Passion. We both have it.
JL: I actually tutor a young DC student. He is autistic but loves music. What message can I give him straight from you guys?
Fizz: Write all that he feels down. Get a lot of things on paper. People cal tell when things are genuine and will like that.
JL:What are some of the biggest pitfalls that you have experienced in your career?
Fizz: The B2K breakup. If your going to be in a group, make sure everyone is on the same page. Communication is key.
JL:Did you hear about Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize?
Fizz: Yeah. That was really big. He is being mentioned with names like Martin Luther King. That makes me real proud. This is big.
JL:How is the promo tour going?
Boog: We are getting a good response. We got old fans and new ones too.
JL: Any last thoughts for your fans?
These guys are truly doing good things. My hats off to them for staying true to their music, interests and fans.
Good interview JL! You asked great questions. -AW
