Bootsy Collins

Keep That Funk Alive!

About Me

Oct.26th. I was born in Cincinnati Ohio, where I became a staff musician at King Records by the time I was 15. I then toured the world with Hank Ballard, & Marva Whitney, before joining the hardest working man in show business Mr. James Brown. I then went on to play with George Clinton, Parliament Funkadelic, P-Funk and also fronted my own band named: Bootsy's Rubber Band. I then met Bill Laswell, and recorded with lots of Artist like Herbie Hancock, Africa Bambaataa, and then out of the clear blue, I recieved a video in the mail in 1991 and it was from a guy with a Bucket on his head who called himself BucketHead, so I said alright the LSD is kicking back in on me so I'm going all the way with it. I told the Total Psycho to come on in and we Recorded his first Album called: BucketHeadLand, that was my first studio and the first time I felt like I was in the woods with a Cereal Killer. Right after that Dee-lite sends me a Boot-signal in the sky and I answered, then we recorded: "Groove is in the Heart" Those were some of my best times in life other than traveling across country in a station wagon full of Funkadelic's and Lady Freaks wanting to ride along just for the funk of it. And yeah, we got plenty funked up! Then a Little space time passed and all of a suddent I was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. I Got my first Grammy in 2002 with my friend "FatBoySlim" (Weapon of Choice) I now have an upcoming album release entitled "ScienceFaxtion" for 2008, teaming back up with BucketHead and Brain, this record was so much fun to make, watch out for it around April, May. I also have a number of artists on my record label, Bootzilla Universal & Bootzilla Productions, Our Motto is: God makes the Stars and we help make um Famous! I love staying fresh 4 my friends & Funkateers. To learn more about what the funk I am doin', visit the Official Bootsy Collins Website .
