Boku
Producer — Cork
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
My name is Ian and I am from Cork City in Ireland.
Describe your style in three words?
Simple, spruce, street.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
That's a hard one but I'm going to say, Justice. I have never felt an energy like it at any other show ever. It was a 2-hour show and built from the beginning to the end.
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
It would never work but I am going to say Pharell as he is one of my heroes from the noughties when it comes to production. Moby also as he is a real Hall of Famer producer, in my opinion, the amount of different genres he has worked on over the years is inspiring.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Judas from the bible, let's hear his side at least.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Stevie G, he is one of the most well known DJ's in the country, he has always been known by everyone for giving young people an opportunity in whatever they love to do.
I originally met him in a workshop when I was a teenager and we have worked on many things together since we also have a small label together.
Boku recently released his new track 'Epiphany'. Listen, purchase or stream it via linktr.ee/bokumusic.
