Shaun Boothe is an award winning hip hop artist, TEDx speaker and creator of The Unauthorized Biography Series, a critically acclaimed musical project that celebrates the world’s greatest cultural icons through biographical rap songs – Repackaging History through Hip Hop.

Each chapter of the series captures the legacy of an influential iconic figure in a documentary-style music video. Icons featured in the series include Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, Bruce Lee, Oprah Winfrey, Tupac Shakur, Terry Fox, Nelson Mandela, Malala Yousafzai, and more. Getting “blog love” from Kanye West and tweets from Diddy himself — Boothe’s sixth icon in his series — it’s clear that he’s getting the attention of the right people.

Shaun Boothe is renowned for his conceptual and highly interactive performances – many of which have graced the opening stages of concerts for multi-platinum artists, including Nas, Lauryn Hill, Talib Kweli, and Snoop Dogg.
