DJ
Boosto was born
and raised in Flint, MI. in the 70's
Looking to music as a way to express himself, some
of his earliest childhood memories include break-dancing
with his brothers to the sounds of early Hip-Hop, Soul and Funk being
projected into the streets by an old-school Boom Box.
Later
in life DJ Boosto was drawn to the underground
scenes of Flints’ Downtown punk and metal
shows at the Capital Theater. Also traveling
60 minutes south to frequent warehouse parties and back
alley venues where he watched Detroit Techno,
and House DJ’s like Juan
Atkins, Carl Craig, Frankie
Bones and Richie Hawtin spin
on a regular basis.
He
left his job as a real estate agent to pursue his love
of music and the art of DJing. First: sharpening his
skills by Rockin’ Birthday parties, and weddings,
later graduating to nightclubs and Hip Hop hot spots.
“ When
we heard this guy put'in it down in the clubs, we knew
he belonged on the street, StreetLevel.biz!"
We
are proud to announce the addition DJ Boosto to WMIZ's "The
MIZ" DJ Roster.
I’d
like to thank The Team at The MIZ for making me feel
like a part of the family. I would also like to thank
them for giving me creative freedom to present my ideas
to the World. Thanks to the listeners across the globe,
because without you there wouldn’t be a StreetLevel.biz or DJ
Boosto.
I
would like to use this opportunity at The Miz to
not only play the most popular songs of the moment, but
also use the time provided to reflect on some of the
music that brought us to this point. I also would like
to give “underdog” MC’s a platform
to be heard.
Much
Love,
DJ Boosto |
