Culture Talks with BOYSAINT

The modern era of music has given way to enigmas and artists of all forms who break the norm of what we have come to expect as far as what an artist truly is. BOYSAINT is one such artist that epitomizes the essence of the modern era. He is a multi-talented instrumentalist and singer born and raised in Las Cruces, NM. Now based in Los Angeles, CA. He is making music that expresses the metamorphosis he’s undergone in his personal and professional life.

BOYSAINT has had a vast array of musical influences. He accredits the most pivotal influences and inspiration in his life to Prince, Jimmy Hendrix, and Santana. While in Las Cruses, singing in his church choir made a significant impact on him, as this experience welcomed more structure and vulnerability into his life. This all culminates in producing a musical experience that is relatable, authentic and grounded in reality.

This Artist captivates the essence of individuality, with an intriguing sound that exhilarates the listener. The rhythmic artist’s latest single “Move” is currently available on all streaming platforms, and he’s eager to collaborate with undiscovered talent on future projects.

Various Songs by Navarro aka Scheme

Rafael Navarro Jr., a Mexican-American first generation college graduate and Founder of Loop Theory and Beats & Bars. Navarro has been a respected artist for many years in the Chicago scene. As a self-sufficient artist he has developed a multitude of skills, which have helped him gain experience in various areas of life. With background experience in Behavioral Therapy with children in a group setting, as well as one-on-one with teens at Chicago Public Schools, in combination with my years of experience as an artist, he has created programs that he strongly believes in.

Navarro’s passion for music and working with youth were always two separate worlds. It wasn’t until one of his students came across his music online at the school he was working with at the time. This led to a group of students suggesting he start an after-school music program, which is where Beats & Bars originated. He finally found the place to have these separate worlds come together. Rafael came to realize the value there is in a skill set he taught himself as a teen.

He looks forward to the day where Beats and Bars spaces exist throughout our communities and provide the necessary resources for our teens to realize the options that exist for them. He wants nothing more than for the youth in his city to realize how valuable they are to themselves and their communities. Giving youth options and showing them that there isn’t one correct path to take. Teaching them to take responsibility, while helping them find the path that works best for them.

Rafael has refocused his purpose and is committed to developing artists to their full potential. Having experience as an artist gives him a unique perspective needed in helping new talent identify their vision and sound. Navarro’s goal with Loop Theory is to build a network of Creative’s and artists that will focus on the development of their artistry and a team, which will assist in managing the process.

As an active member of his community, a youth mentor, artist and now artist manager, Navarro believes it’s key to nurture new talent and guide them through the necessary steps to develop their artistic identity. He focuses on providing all the essential resources needed by the artists in order to support and achieve each individual's vision. Navarro envisions Loop Theory becoming a reputable artist development and management company for the next generation of creative’s. For Creators, by Creators.
