BOSCOBABYY: HOW THE RISING STAR IS CONTRIBUTING A FRESH TAKE TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
Bosco Babyy (a.k.a. Myles Austin), was forced to alter his artistic direction, as the world hovered on the brink of change. Distancing, he immersed himself in his music to record 15 tracks, and 3 skits in just 28 hours to deliver his debut album, DAYS WE FORGET. Bosco Babyy is no stranger to change. The 23-year old who was raised on a military base for the early years of his life, by his father who spoke fluent Japanese and his mother who wrote stage plays that he’d perform in at the church his family attended, was born into the arts. DAYS WE FORGET is only Part I of a trilogy of story-telling concepts that tap into places old and new, tackling life’s revelations. We had the opportunity to interview Boscobabyy.
Hello Boscobabyy, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your career.
Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?
I first got into music in highschool, I wasn’t taking music seriously just releasing a couple songs on soundcloud. A few of my friends found it and word started spreading around school. Years later in my sophomore year of college I picked it back up and started taking it seriously.
If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?
I would describe my style as versatile, all my songs sound different and have their own spirit. I aim to create new sounds and genres as my career progresses.
What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?
I would tell them to always stay creative and most important stay on your business.
What quote or mantra do you live by?
To lift myself up when I’m down i live by the mantra “Many are called,few are chosen”.
What is your hobby outside of music?
My hobbies outside of music are working out, creative writing, and traveling.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In five years I see my brand being a household name and multifaceted business.
What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why.
Advice I wished I recieved is the importance of business and marketing. Personally when I first started I only focused on the art and wondered why I wasn’t getting more traction.;
Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?
I’d recommend having a trustworthy team and flexible plan.
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
You can expect more shows, new singles, and my next music video in november.
What is the inspiration behind your latest song?
DAYS WE FORGET is Part II of an ongoing series of story-telling concepts that tap into places old and new, tackling life’s revelationsThe inspiration behind my latest project “Days We Forget” is a look at the outside world and how life has changed for everyone. I believe we are entering a new era brought upon us by forces and battles unseen. I live by the principle that what happens in nature is a result of what’s happening in the spiritual. As these things change I made this project to comfort and reflect on days passed..the days we forget.

“Blue Christmas” by Lisa Humber delivers a heartfelt holiday melancholic glow
Weaving an ethereal soundscape that cuts straight to the soul, Lisa Humber’s rendition of “Blue Christmas” feels like unwrapping an intimate letter to the heartbroken, transforming the familiar holiday classic into a profoundly personal exploration of seasonal melancholy. Gone are Elvis Presley’s iconic version’s upbeat, almost playful undertones; Lisa offers a stripped-back performance characterized by a haunting resonance.
Working closely with producer and guitarist Justin Abedin, Humber breathes life into the song’s quiet void that lingers in the spaces where laughter should reside. Her tender and vulnerable voice evokes a rare sense of unfiltered longing. It’s as though she’s singing directly to the part of us that carries the burden of lonely and disappointed festive promises during a time usually filled with happiness and celebration, creating a stark contrast to the glittering cheer of the season.
The minimalistic instrumentation creates an intimate auditory experience. Abedin’s guitar strings hum softly, almost like a fragile heartbeat, leaving room for Lisa’s vocal tenderness to shine. Each note she sings feels deliberate, and every lyric is imbued with the ache of memories and the quiet hope of what could have been.
Humber’s evolution as a songwriter began with her debut original composition, ‘Boxing Day.’ With this new single, she demonstrates her adeptness in capturing the nuances of human emotions. “Blue Christmas” isn’t just a cover; it functions as a reimagined dialogue with the audience, providing shared solace to anyone whose holiday experiences might not meet the cheerful festive narrative.
This interpretation of “Blue Christmas” encapsulates a dual sense of introspective warmth and illumination while simultaneously embodying bittersweet emotions. Its impact is particularly pronounced when complemented by visuals of twinkling lights juxtaposed against through a lens of melancholy. Ultimately, it represents a stunning addition to Humber’s growing catalog of musical works.
