DJ CHI BOOGIE

IT ALL STARTED AT THE AGE OF 14, WHEN MUSIC BECAME A POSITIVE INFLUENCE IN BOOGIE'S LIFE. BOOGIE IS NOT ONLY RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF CHICAGO'S HOTTEST DJZ, BUT IS ALSO KNOWN FOR HIS SKILLS AS AN MC. THIS HAS GIVEN BOOGIE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPIERIENCE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. BOOGIE STARTED OUT DJing AND MCing IN 1995 WITH A TALENTED GROUP OF B-BOYZ FROM CHICAGO HEIGHTS KNOWN AS "THE UNITED BREAKIN CREW". THEY TRAVELED TO VARIOUS CITIES DISPLAYING THEIR SKILLS IN THE 4 ELEMENTS OF HIP HOP. IN 1997 BOOGIE LANDED HIS FIRST RESIDENT DJ SLOT AT CLUB 778 NORTH IN CALUMET CITY, IL. IT WASNT LONG AFTER THAT WHEN BOOGIE HAD BOOKINGS FOR SOME OF THE BIGGEST CLUBS AND PARTIES THROUGHOUT THE MIDWEST INCLUDING: CLUB FIZZ, CHASERS, PULSE, THE BUZZ, BLUE NOTE, TRENDSETTERS, RUBES, THE WHITE HORSE,...THE LIST GOES ON. IN 1999 BOOGIE ENTERED THE RAVE SCENE, PERFORMING AT SOME OF THE LARGEST PARTIES EVER THROWN IN CHICAGO. MANY WERE UNDERGROUND WAREHOUSE PARTIES WHILE OTHERS WERE "AFTER HOURS" AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS. WHEN THE SCENE BECAME MORE COMMERCIALIZED AND STARTED TO DIE DOWN, BOOGIE FOCUSED MORE ON BECOMING A WELL KNOWN BATTLE MC. BOOGIE WON HIS FIRST MC BATTLE AT STREET LINGO ON 91ST AND COMMERCIAL ON CHICAGO'S SOUTHEAST SIDE. BOOGIE HAS WON NUMEROUS MC BATTLES/FREESTYLE COMPETITIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS INCLUDING: STREET LINGO BATTLE 2000, BLUE NOTE 2001, SUBTERRANEAN 2002, SOPRANOS 2003, DEMF 2005 ETC...BOOGIE WAS RECENTLY INTRODUCED IN A CHICAGO HIP HOP DOCUMENTRY FILMED IN WICKER PARK. SOON AFTER THE FILM, BOOGIE BEGAN HOSTING HIS OWN MC BATTLES IN DOWNTOWN ELGIN, IL. NOW, AFTER YEARS OF DEDICATION TO BOTH DJing AND MCing, BOOGIE HAS TEAMED UP WITH AN ELITE SQUAD OF DJZ KNOWN AS THE "GHETTO TEKNITIANZ." SINCE THE YEAR 2000, CHICAGO'S HOUSE SCENE HAS EVOLVED INTO WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS "JUKE MUSIC" AND THE "JUKE" MOVEMENT IS SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD! BRINGING A NEW STYLE AND FLAVOR OF OLD SKOOL MIXED WITH THE ENERGY AND EMOTION OF NEW SKOOL! BOOGIE HAS RECENTLY SIGNED CONTRACTS WITH "JUKE TRAX", A RECORD LABEL BASED IN DETROIT.

Expanding beyond linear perception, music literally sets me free. No longer trapped by the constraints of conventional conformity (what?), music is a gift that allows me to truly experience life. Remember this..."Music gives one the ability to combine universal communication with limitless expression."
