Self-proclaimed—and street-certified—“O.G triple O.G”, DJ Booman has been synonymous with “Baltimore Club music” since its inception in the early 90s. As one of the key producers (and the first engineer) for Unruly Records, Booman, along with partners KW Griff and Jimmy Jones as the Doo Dew Kidz, created club classics like “Pick Em’ Up”, “Watch Out For The Big Girl”, and “Shout”. And Booman continues to bring the Club hits through a constant flow of remixes (Most recently: Jim Jones, Katy Perry, Taxi Doll), traditional Club tracks, and club/hip-hop hybrids.

While keeping a constant, constructive presence in his hometown of Baltimore, DJ Booman also expertly navigates the national market, with his 1996 remix of Michael Jackson’s “Strangers in Moscow” and more recently, a bonus track on Diddy’s Press Play (Diddy even developed a viral “dance contest” video for the song), and his association with the world famous Bumsquad DJs.

DJ Booman’s served extended stints as a mixshow DJ on Baltimore’s WERQ 92.3 (“92 Q”) and WXYV (“V 103”), toured the mid-Atlantic college circuit as the premiere university DJ all through the 90s, and can still be caught mixing it up in at least one or two Baltimore hip-hop and club spots every week. Paired with his promotional work through Crooked Streetz Entertainment, his Bosstalk mixtape, Promobile Marketing group, and One Stop Entertainment Source (O.S.E.S), DJ Booman himself could be called a “one stop entertainment source”.

And all the while, he holds it down through Club tracks, a hip-hop production career (the Baltimore City Paper named him “Best Beatmaker” in 2008), and pioneering Club/rap hybrids with local legends like Mullyman (“Party Walk”, “Bmore Go Harder”) and the supergroup of the 410 Pharaohs (Booman, Jimmy Jones, Labtekwon). The 410 Pharoahs’ 2008 album 410 Funk won “Best Local Album” in the City Paper (that’s two awards for Booman last year if you’re counting) and received positive press in XLR8R and numerous House and dance music websites.

2009’s shaping up to be an equally fruitful year for DJ Booman as he remains ever-present, through production on Mullyman’s “Bmore Go Harder” which has a video by noted artist and video director Tabi Bonney, a Best of the Doo-Dew Kidz mixtape available for free download, and the formal, digital release of "The Return" and "Return of the Real" EPs with Bmore Original Records.
