Black Boogie Neon
"Walking out the door I jump into the eyes that judge me. They do not ask about my emotions, my touch, or my whisper. Can you believe there are millions of me? I stand in front of you speaking for all of those who are different, yet so likened to me. And to the world I thought wouldn't accept me, the people I was so sure I hated... I was wrong. All power to the people. With love and rage. Talk soon." - Cola Boyy
Just like fellow native Oxnard musicians Madlib and Anderson .Paak, Cola Boyy comes from a mixed black and white musical background: an obvious descendant of the Ghetto Brothers, a New York-based militant black and Hispanic band that blended together rock, soul and Latino music, all while trying to bring peace to the city’s gang war. He's also greatly inspired by the funk and disco energy of Studio 54 and the Paradise Garage club, as well as the poetry and harmonies of his ultimate idol, Paul McCartney.
This first EP weaves all of these influences together into five tracks that sound like a fun & funky foretaste of his debut album "Prosthetic Boombox".
