About BOYFRN
Immigrating from Barbados to Scarborough, Toronto, BOYFRN wields a strong cultural and artistic heritage. In high school he would take an interest and start writing his own poetry; a move that ignited a deep-rooted urge within. Naturally quiet, he continued in this inspiration, writing poetry as therapy and an expressive outlet. Poetry transformed into music, finding BOYFRN in makeshift studios, making connections with those who fostered his inherent talent.
“I want to blend the genres I grew up with. I hate following the generic layout most songwriters follow. Black people get put into a box all too often. If you’re black, you get the ‘rapper’ label so quick. I’d like to be part of the movement that breaks down those barriers.” – BOYFRN
With the help of friends, BOYFRN honed his skills and created his own sound: a mix of deep, poetic rap and 90s pop [sounds]. He released his first single, “Nine Tails” in 2018, with “CRY” and “Come Down” following shortly thereafter.
