J BOOG's debut album, "HEAR ME ROAR", showcases his ability to display a multi-genre style that will captivate audiences worldwide! His eclectic blend of Reggae, R&B and Hip-Hop fused with "Polynesian Soul" and "street flare" will find its way into the hearts (and ears) of the most discerning listener and music enthusiast! The fact that J BOOG pours his heart and soul into every last lyric of his music is evident...his lyrical styling is superb, and will definitely change the role of Polynesian artists in mainstream music!
The legendary George "FIJI" Veikoso also lends his creative skills to the album with his vocal contributions, as well as handling the producing and arrangements for the music. Additional vocal, lyrical and arrangement offerings from Donald Malepeai, Moses “Mr. Sanga" Makaafi, Ernest "Goof" Saffings, "Zen", and Isaac "Sak" Pua help to conclude the incredibly diverse sound of this album.
