Q Boogie Aka Da Poet...Scream At Ya Man Cauae we aint Hollerin at BOYSSSBand/artist history
Q began to perform his original spoken word pieces in the Washington, DC area, he was sought out by student organizations, sororities, and professors for paid performances. Tavis Smiley chose Q to host the poetry section of his very first Youth to Leaders National Summit which was aired on C-SPAN in 2003. At the age of 23, Q left Howard to pursue his career in spoken word poetry and rap music. He published his first spoken word cd entitled Words of Awakening, which included a fiery political base of commentary. The year 2003 proved to be a pivotal year for Q. He performed for Russell Simmons at the Annual Black Face Awards, which led to his performance for the Jam Master Jay Commemoration where Russell and Danny Simmons personally requested Qs audition for the HBO Def Poetry Jam. After performing before Dr. Ben Chavis Muhammad, Q was invited to perform at the Pre Tony Award show for the Def Poetry cast. Q then joined the BET All Stars Tour, performed for Chuck D, and as a result was invited to work in his private studio. A local poetry show in D.C. called the Poets Corner invited Q as a featured guest. There was also a heavy request for Q at various colleges including College of Charleston, Morgan State, Howard University and Virginia Union to name a few. As a result of performing at Buffalo State, Q was hired to teach a six-week poetry course to high school seniors through its Upward Bounds program. In 2004, Q opened for Grammy Award Winner India.Arie at the Brooklyn Arts Streets Festival, worked DJ Green Lantern and jive artist Raheem Devaughn. He also recorded his second underground spoken word cd, The Rebirth of a Revolutionary. In February of 2005, Q released his first underground hip hop cd entitled The Unheard of: Volume 1, which received much press in upstate New York, where Q currently resides. In September of 2005, he performed at a RBK-sponsored gathering which commemorated Allen Iverson's 10th year anniversary in the NBA. Q will continue to provide a positive voice for urban youth through his poetic insight and raw talent.
