Yoga Boy is a satire of 90s west coast gangster rap, but is also my authentic truth.
It was made as an aggressive response to my parents after they made fun of me for doing yoga and called me “yoga boy.” Their bodies have been aging rapidly, and they had the nerve to make fun of me for doing yoga.
This was especially enraging because a year ago I set the goal to help my parents embrace an anti-inflammatory diet combined with a daily yoga practice that helps them stay strong, balanced, and flexible - so that they could have another 10 years with healthy bodies. I had a vision of our family swimming and kayaking in oceans and lakes, hiking and skiing in the mountains, and biking everywhere - and I’ve been coaching them weekly to make that vision reality.
So you can imagine my anger when they threw the yoga and healthy eating in my face, as if I was teaching them yoga for MY sake!
I channeled the anger into this song, which every word of which is my truth.
Rap lyrics are often flexing about money, girls, guns, and bravado, my lyrics flex MY truth. I built and sold a company, I’m addicted to yoga, I eat healthy AF, I stretch in public everywhere I go, I healed my body after destroying it in the military, and I left the world of entrepreneurship, military, and film making to reinvent myself as a musician and performing artist.
I had the balls to leave it all to become exactly what I wanted, and that’s my biggest flex.
I also made an “enemy” out of the guy that my parents wished I was. Which is satirical because my truth is that I’ll be that guy one day. Hopefully soon after I’m profitable!
The song was originally produced by my homie and then finished out in the studio by the legendary !
The music video was a shared vision with my co-creator, co-producer, co-director, and one of my best friends who is also one of the most talented artists I’ve ever met. All of our amazing dancers, actors, and teammates will be tagged in the post. Thank you SO much for bringing this vision to life. I’m honored to create with you. Truly.
YOGA BOY is officially out on all platforms!
