Boogieman Dela is as complex an artists as the name suggests. This Philly native grew up in a large musically inclined family with three sisters and a brother all with an aptitude for singing and various instruments. In Boog’s elementary years he studied the drums and the trumpet which began building the foundation of his musical genius.

​Growing up in the church Boog found a way to blend his upbringing with the sounds of the streets he looked to in his early teens.  He gained acclaim as a vicious battle rapper yet returned his focus back to writing and making music as he grew as an artist. In the winter of 2015, Boog release his first album, Dirty Harmony, which was well received by the masses and raised the standard of what to expect from Mandela in his future work.

The authentic sound that Boogie captured the attention of entertainment group Sensi Starr Records in 2016. Boogie is in the process of releasing his “Broken Watch” album collective through the Philadelphia record label.
