We had the good fortune of connecting with B.o.a Mook and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi B.O.A, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
This is a good question—it’s actually quite deep. There is so much involved in the process of trying to accomplish your dreams. There will be times when you feel very lonely because the people around you may not understand how much you care about what you’re trying to achieve. That feeling alone is difficult to handle. However, my faith in God is what keeps me going. Knowing that He is still in the blessing business motivates me. Besides, the thought of not at least trying to achieve my goals in life just doesn’t sit well with me, so I have to keep pushing forward.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart from others is that I’m just me, and I don’t really care to dive into others’ lives. I like focusing on my creativity and staying true to myself and my art. I’m proud of the song I released this year, “Can We Live,” featuring the mainstream artist NLE Choppa. I’m excited to release more music and grow as a better person and artist. I believe I am where I am today because I keep God first and continue to work hard and have faith. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to put myself first. I can’t ensure others are okay if I’m not. I want the world to know that B.O.A creates some of the best music on this planet.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I honestly don’t know what to tell them. Memphis has become very dangerous, and I grew up in a poor environment. We either couldn’t afford things, or my parents weren’t comfortable letting us go to certain places. However, I’m a big fan of pizza, so I hope you find a pizza spot that suits your tastes. I hope this helps! Haha.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a big shout-out to God because He hasn’t given up on me. He has given me purpose, hope, and faith. I’m nothing without Him. He sees all of my flaws and all of my wrongs, yet He still chooses to be here for me. So, I want to express my gratitude for the blessings of my beautiful family and for allowing us to live 95 years and counting.
