Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Boaz is a nationally recognized recording artist, songwriter, creative strategist, and community leader whose influence extends far beyond music. Emerging from one of hip-hop’s most respected cities, he shares roots with artists such as Wiz Khalifa and the late Mac Miller, both of whom were once his labelmates at Rostrum Records.

His projects, including the critically praised 20 Summers and The Algorithm, showcase his evolution as both an artist and storyteller, blending sharp lyricism with thoughtful narratives rooted in real-life experiences.

Beyond music, Boaz is committed to creating meaningful impact in the communities that shaped him. He serves as the Co-Founder and Chief Communications & Creative Engagement Officer (CCCEO) of the Pittsburgh Street Team, where he leads the organization’s communications, branding, public relations, media strategy, and creative engagement initiatives. In this role, he helps amplify community voices, strengthen public awareness campaigns, build partnerships with artists, influencers, and organizations, and use the power of storytelling to inspire positive change throughout Pittsburgh.

Today, Boaz stands as one of Pittsburgh’s most respected voices in hip-hop and community leadership—a multifaceted artist whose legacy is defined not only by his music but by his dedication to empowering others and transforming lives through creativity, collaboration, and purpose.
