Shaun Booth - Live Your Legacy

Shaun Boothe is an award-winning hip-hop artist and TEDx speaker. After spending 10+ years in the music industry, sharing stages with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill, and Kendrick Lamar, a search for a more purposeful path led Boothe to create the Unauthorized Biography Series, combining music with his passion for public speaking into a powerful tool to entertain and inspire others to achieve their own greatness. 

Live Your Legacy is part of hip-hop biographer Shaun Boothe’s Unauthorized Biography Series, a critically acclaimed musical project that celebrates the world’s greatest cultural icons through biographical rap songs- repackaging history through hip-hop. Half TED Talk, half live concert, Shaun uses music, multimedia, and motivation to deliver powerful and transformative messaging in a way that truly resonates with audiences and leaves you inspired. Live Your Legacy is tailored to empower, educate, and inspire students and adults alike to realize their greatest potential.
