Luv U 4 Life from Tess Boogie on Vimeo.
What's good Ya'll? Hope everything is going good and well. Today, I present to you a great friend of mine that has basically been right there side to side with the rest of our collective living the dream as many would call it. Her name is "Tess." She is an extremely talented artist with great spunk and beauty. Visually she is a blue print to a successful artist compared to what we see today. Tess' notoriety began when an artist by the name of "Jugganot" featured her, Joell Ortiz and Uncle Murder on a record entitled, "EnWhyCee" that received a good amount of spins on well known New York City radio station Hot97. Then was followed by a video which now allowed the world to know how the "Young Diva" as she was referred to then looked like.
Now, just going by Tess, she has been on her respectable grind singing background for many independent artists to legends such as "J.T. Taylor"(Kool And The Gang) where she eventually became one of the focal front girls at most of his past tour dates from Africa to Malaysia. She was even chosen to sing with popular late 70's/80's group "Atlantic Starr" officially as lead singer "Sharon Bryant" and did a phenomenal job 2yrs ago in a filled arena in LA for Valentines day. It is quite apparent that Tess is no stranger to the stage and has an obvious gift she wants to share with the world. Only time will tell huh?
Her debut video, "Love U 4 Life" comes from her "Tess Goes Jodeci" album that was produced by "DJ Static and Dub-Z." This project consists of a collection of songs from Jodeci that was reproduced musically and has different vocal arrangement that makes this album very interesting to listen to if you are familiar with the original Jodeci records. She has been performing all throughout NYC promoting and bringing awareness to this project that needs to reach your ears as this video your eyes. Enjoy!!!

This 2nd entry is a song Tess and I recorded entitled "4AM" produced by TE-1 Productions from London. If you haven't noticed already for the most part everyone that is featured here on the "BugnanaBlogs" has some sort of connection to Asa and Myself. It gives you a sense of history so when you hear Bugnanas or any future music, you will have the story as to how it came to be.
Now, I met Tess a few years ago at a rehearsal studio in Brooklyn where a bunch of us were practicing for a show that my man AD was promoting and involved in. As time passed, I knew I needed to incorporate her somehow, someway on one of my records because her voice was simply incredible. So over some beers lolol, I presented the ideas I had for what I saw her singing and when we went into the studio it was wonderful experience!!! Which lead to her to be around a lot of our sessions where she got to see how Asa, Dub, Static Ariel Borujow (our engineer) put their work in. In that process the chemistry become greater and so did the music. For example, her and I recorded a remix for J Davey's "Finer Things" out of pure homage in which "Jack Davey" approved and gave us props for. Shows how just vibing in the studio could bring out great material. Check it out:

She added her vocals on many other records I've done with Asa/Static/Dub that now brings us to this point. On Bugnanas, she assisted me in a song we have called "Cosmic Strawberries" which is a favorite to most people that you will eventually see filmed as a video in the near future... Again...Enjoy!!!
