Career

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]

gollark: > Born too late to explore the world / Born too early to explore the starsIt's not like being on some sort of ship voyage to a faraway place which you stand a decent chance of not coming back from would be very nice. Nowadays you can travel basically most of the planet very cheaply and with low risk, and find stuff which is new *to you* if not to everyone.
