Career

BOTZY's work on The Best Love Is Free event and compilation CD has had a significant impact on the Minneapolis music scene, lasting five years with repeated 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]

BOTZY released a collaborative EP with MunQs under the group name "VAYNS". They played their first and only live show at First Avenue Mainroom as a part of The Best Love is Free 5. [8]

After a hiatus, BOTZY announced a new project, Sorry, Where Was I?. [9] The album touches on themes of redemption, growth, and what it means to rebuild yourself through love and intention. The single "Look At You (Affirmations)" was paired with a music video and referred to as "a loving tribute to love, light, and radical self-belief". [10]
