Events Description
This unique show is something that must be experienced live. Shaun Boothe blends hip-hop with storytelling. The Unauthorized Biography Series brings influential icons to life through music and documentary-style music videos.
Don’t miss out on this incredible show during Black History Month. Celebrating a selection of icons such as Bob Marley, Serena Williams, Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King, Barack Obama, Kobe Bryant, Jimmy Hendrix, James Brown, and Oprah Winfrey. Boothe has received high praise from the families of many of the icons in his series and even performed for MLK III himself.
Shaun is an award-winning hip-hop artist, TEDx speaker, and creator of The Unauthorized Biography Series. This critically-acclaimed musical project celebrates the world’s greatest cultural icons through biographical raps songs – unpacking history through hip-hop.
After spending over 10 years in the music industry, sharing stages with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill, and Kendrick Lamar, a search for a more purposeful path led Shaun to the education market. It was here where he discovered how his Unauthorized Biography Series, combined with his passion for speaking, could be used as a powerful tool to both entertain and inspire others to achieve their own greatness. A few short years later, this new direction has grown into a thriving international career as an inspirational speaker and performing artist.
“Boothe’s performance was equal parts entertainment, inspiration, and education. Using hip hop as his lectern, visually compelling multimedia as his slides, Boothe’s presentation teaches us the critical peaks and valleys of great people, often in surprising ways.” – Michael Humphrey, Forbes
