Today we’d like to introduce you to Eric “eBoOgie” Vega.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I am a independent artist that was born in Brooklyn New York and then moved down to Tampa Florida at the age of Ten.Ive always been a lover of Hip Hop music and its culture so I was inspired to become an artist myself.I always knew that I had a gift with writing music so I began doing open mics and competition shows here in Tampa Fl.Even though I’ve always been told I have a great talent with my Lyrics I always kinda felt there was something missing.I was Making music in a secular world when in reality it was God who gave me the talent to use my words to make music.So I decided after I gave my life to Christ that I would use my Talents to Glorify him and what he’s done for me and my life.Now I make Christian Hip Hop and share the good gospel through my music and it’s helped not only me but others find a relationship with Jesus and I will continue to give him all the praise because it was him that made it all possible.He delivered me from A lot and I owe it all back to him
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s definitely been a process trying to separate the difference of being in the world and of the world.I used to be a smoker of Marijuana for quite some time and it definitely had me thinking it was okay to do so but when I gave my life to Christ and started reading the Bible he showed me that he wanted me to be sober minded.There were times that I would run to the weed instead of running to him and it became like a vice until I realized that God will let u do something so much until u finally see that your strength comes from him.Thats why we have free will.It is a choice whether u choose him and or not and im glad that he chose me to break generational curses that followed throughout my family.Its been a process but im glad i was delivered
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am an Independent Christian Hip Hop Artist who Glorifies God through my music and my testimony. I also share the word of God and Share Devotionals on all my Social Medias and streaming platforms.It feels good to my spirit to know that God has used me as a vessel to share his word and reach people all over the world.I believe worship is a part of my purpose in this world and I will continue to let God use me to do so
What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
I love that Tampa is so diverse and it has a lot of unknown talent.My only dislike is say would be the fact that A lot of Artist/people are to afraid to work together as a collective and uplift one another there more into being in competition with one another and even though Competition is good I think collaboration is key
