Early Life
editBooga Bradshaw was born September 13th, 1990 in Lubbock, Texas. He grew up in Amherst Texas, a town with a population of around 800 people. Boog has always been a student of all aspects of music, from groovin' instrumentals to meaningful lyrics. Down home blues and jazz had a huge influence on Boog growing up, as well as hip-hop and Neo Soul. After graduating high school, Boog went on to college where he played NCAA Division II basketball.
