Boz was originally the front man for the Progressive Rock group " Us " whose record Oblivion was released on Ravenbourne Records/Labels Enabled in 2004 and continues to do very well in the UK and in Europe.
Us, formerly The Chosen Few (TCF) toured throughout the Southeast United States from 1997-2005 playing mainly festivals, upscale clubs, and corporate events: Anheuser Busch, IBM, General Motors etc. with tremendous success and positive reviews of their 16 piece show (which included female vocalists and full horn section!). "We worked on some HUGE corporate gigs with the likes of Sting, Cheap Trick, Hootie and The Blowfish, Sugar Ray, Steve Allen (three weeks before he passed away, unfortunately)and so many more, we were very blessed to be in the Orlando Convention Band music scene", say's Boz.
Boz also says: "I thank God for that time of my life. Great players, great music and we were always playing; I mean sometimes 3-4 times per week! We made a lot of people happy with our music, whether it was cover and/or original music."
With this solo record, Boz's music has been hailed very spiritual but certainly not charismatic and/or Christian.
"I call it human . I try and write songs that can move people in some way or another, from a human aspect. I tend to focus in on one subject and do my best to learn as much as I can about it; in order to write more passionately. My hope is to connect with the listener somehow and have this music inspire them in some way.
My influences have always been great career artists like Peter Gabriel, Bruce Hornsby, Sting, Phil Collins, Mick Hucknall (Simply Red), Mike Rutherford (Genesis), Don Henley, Seal, Paul Carrack, Steely Dan (to name a few). I tend to stray a bit to the obscure. I think many of you will hear those influences in this music.
We, (David Mikeal and I) wrote some really nice radio-friendly tunes on this new record ( Karma Knows ) and some other very personal "album" tunes that I am very fond of. In fact, I love all the tunes and certainly hope those listening to Karma Knows will too!
Boz continues to work with other songwriters in the Florida area (and beyond) and plans to complete the Boz LIVE on I-Drive project in Orlando , and tour in 2009 to support Karma Knows.

Why this name?
It's been my nickname for as long as I can remember!
Do you play live?
We play LIVE when we have the right venue and the right people attending. We played the "cover" circuit for many years and years, and loved it, but now we're focused in on our songs, our message and our stage production.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I'm blessed to be part of it all, actually. I've been involved in the Internet since 1994, wehere we could only surf the Internet at 33.6 KBS! I was lucky to to have been part of web development at the time and have become an Internet guru! Check us out at www.iemg.com
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely! People still think the majors are evil, but not us! We're business-people too, and they have to make their return otherwise why would they invest! We still feel there are major labels who want to work with seasoned, genuine professionals who fully understand the "mutual beneficial" aspect of doing business together. Both parties have to succeed to WIN, and we're SO much more than touring, partying and avoiding our responsibilities to our label. We still know there is better than a 92/8 deal out there, and we would plan to uphold our end of any agreement, in fact, we'd over deliver on it!
Band History:
We won't bore you the details, but we've been at this quite a while. We're seasoned, career artists who can still captivate an audience, and write and records songs with passion and meaning.
Your influences?
My career mentors are: Steely Dan, Genesis, Bruce Hornsby, Don Henley, Sting, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, and SO many others. Anything with some songwriting "gumption" is what I'm attracted to and what I try to emultae.
Favorite spot?
Los Angeles, NYC, Raleigh, San Francisco, Orlando
Equipment used:
You name it, we have it but SHURE in-the-ear monitors are something I will NOT work without!
Anything else...?
We thank anyone who is spending any time of theirs with our music. We hope you'll let us know how we're doing and also hope you will share our work with others.
