about
Beataroundabush is a musical group that believes in breaking boundaries and shattering limitations. The group is composed of Andrew Bomani Robinson and Randy “Jayare” Johnson. Combined, they are songwriters, emcees, singers, poets, graphic designers, video directors, promoters, and producers, and whatever else they deem necessary for success. Though they seek out and enjoy the collaborative experience of working with others, from the first notes played, to the words being written, to the project getting mastered and released, all phases of production are carried out primarily by these two individuals. Their belief that their music must be either created their way or not at all, stems as much from their uncompromising love of music as it does their upbringing. Both Bomani, and Jayare were born and raised in the East Bay area of Northern California. Growing up they were exposed to an eclectic musical environment that included Sly and the family stone, Nina Simone, Donny Hathaway, groups like Earth Wind and Fire and Rose Royce, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Hip-hop pioneers Run DMC, N.W.A., De La Soul, Digital underground, and Public Enemy just to name a few. The result is a sound that is always unique, lyrically rich and authentic, and musically soulful. At the same time that the duo was learning from this amazing roster of musicians, both were growing up in the midst of the Crack epidemic of the 1980’s.
