BIO


KBoog_BioPicWEB1.jpg

Born and rai... (nope) Kon Boogie is... (hmmm) coming from... (ugh!) FORGET IT! What up! My name is Kon Boogie... I'm from Corona Queens in NYC. My parents are both Cuban and have the same birthday (I thought that was an interesting fact, so just go with it!). I can rap my ass off (swag) and I have a band called Death By Plastic. I've also had the privilege of sharing the stage with some pretty amazing Hip Hop artists (Joe Budden, Blu, Das Efx, Rah Digga, Dead Prez, Masta Ace, Immortal Technique, Action Bronson etc). I've pretty much played everywhere in NY and a s*#t load of places in NJ. On top of being a phenomenal performer *pops collar* I am also an audio engineer (with a degree) and graphic designer (gotta pay the bills somehow,  right?). I absolutely love what I do! Growing up I was always that weird kid that didn't quite fit in... Music always came naturally to me and for the most part kept me out of serious trouble (except for that one time... ok a couple times). I've been a part of many groups throughout the years and for a long time all I did was production and engineer work while maintaining a full time day job (BORING!). In 2009 I decided it was enough... I wasn't gonna keep helping others achieve their goals and dreams without doing the same for myself. So here I am... Present day… Stronger and happier (and broker LOL) than I've ever been. Creating some amazing music and art with some of the most talented and innovative people I have ever met. So besides the hardships of being a struggling artist I'm pretty F'in blessed... I pray you enjoy what I do just as much as I enjoy doing it… BONG!
