Shaun Boothe, an award-winning hip-hop artist and TEDx speaker, created The Unauthorized Biography Series to celebrate the world’s greatest cultural icons through biographical hip-hop songs. The critically acclaimed project captures the legacy of positive and influential figures such as Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King Jr., Bob Marley, Barack Obama, Serena Williams, Oprah Winfrey, and Malala Yousafzai. Half TED Talk, half live concert, Boothe fuses music, spoken word, multimedia, and motivation to deliver powerful stories of personal greatness.
