Career

[edit]

Botzy's work on The Best Love Is Free event and compilation CD has had a significant impact on the Minneapolis music scene, and is entering its fifth year of increasing turns outs.[3][4]

His video for "Couldn't Breathe (feat. Lizzo)" was premiered on URB, and was labeled a "throwback kind of affair".[5] His album Buck Fotzy was distributed by Fake Four Inc. on July 9, 2013.[6]

Botzy quickly followed up "Buck Fotzy" with a 6 track EP titled "Past Tense", as a gift to his fans for their recent support.[7]

In 2014, Botzy is set to release a collaborative EP with MunQs under the group name "VAYNS", as well as solo EP produced by 2% Muck. He was also working towards a full length album featuring production by Wesley Opus and Cecil Otter.[8]
