| Shaun Boothe, creator of ‘The Unauthorized Biography Series,’ will perform at The Village Theater at Cherry Hill Jan. 20 to celebrate and honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy. |
Boothe is an award-winning hip-hop recording artist, TEDx speaker and creator of 'The Unauthorized Biography Series'. After spending more than a decade in the music industry, Boothe's path has shifted to now focus on educating the next generation as an inspirational speaker and performing artist.
The Unauthorized Biography Series is a musical project that celebrates the world's greatest cultural icons through biographical hip hop songs. Each chapter in the series captures the legacy of a positive and influential iconic figure in a documentary-style music video. Icons featured in the series include Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, Malala Yousafzai, Terry Fox, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and more.
Boothe combines his passion for speaking with the Unauthorized Biography Series as a powerful tool to both entertain and inspire others to achieve their own greatness. “The power of hip hop is in the stories we choose to tell,” stated Boothe. “Our stories can either build us up or break us down.”
The concert will begin at 7 p.m.
