Career
2019-2022: Early work
BoostJam released his first song in 2019 on his YouTube channel. He would continue releasing music on the platform until 2021, discovering DistroKid through a video sponsor. His first album, Peace Gang, released in March of 2021.[1] He released many other projects following this, but they have since been taken down due to Boost's dislike of their content.
2023: Joining BandLab and NEW ERA!
Boost joined BandLab after getting recommended multiple preset videos on YouTube. Shortly after signing up, he stumbled across MR BABA!, a song by artist skellyruno (known as BABA! at the time). He was streaming on the platform as Boost discovered the song, and after joining the stream, he got into skellyruno's collective NEW ERA!. He started gaining traction on the platform after releasing the songs checkmate! and pulled up 2 da party!, the latter featuring skellyruno and ASURA.
2024: green, my gift to you 3, and AUG24
On May 10th, he released the album green.
On July 16, 2024, Boost's 15th birthday, he released my gift to you 3, a part of a series of projects released for every birthday of his. The 2 preceding instalments have been removed from streaming. The project was released alongside a now-deleted face reveal video.
On July 22nd, Boost announced that he would be releasing a song for every day in August. He released two full projects during the month, neverland and this a robbery!, both of which have been taken down. All the songs he released (excluding the two projects) were compiled as AUG24. The compilation has since been abridged multiple times.
2025: HEDERA and BAD LÜCK
On May 25th, BoostJam released the mixtape HEDERA. A music video was released for Ahlie? on July 21st.[2]
On August 22nd, BoostJam released an album in collaboration with grüb titled BAD LÜCK.
2026-present: Maybe Not, The Danger series, BxT, and Pain
On January 1st, 2026, BoostJam released the EP Maybe Not. The songs on it are mainly inspired by EDM and house music, unlike much of his prior content.
BoostJam went on to release 3 EPs, those being KILLJOY, CAUTION and BEWARE. Boost has refered to these EPs as the Danger series, as the names CAUTION and BEWARE serve as warnings for possible danger. An album named IMPACT was set to be the final project of the series, but was scrapped.
On July 4th, 2026, Trxp shared a snippet on his Instagram story of the song Fireworks. BoostJam reposted it, adding the caption "Collab tape on the way". The mixtape, BxT would drop on July 10th, just 6 days after the announcement. Boost stated that him and Trxp made the mixtape in 3 days.
BoostJam announced his next release would be called Pain in late July. It was originally a mixtape, but transformed into an album. It was announced on October 9th, 2026 through a now-deleted trailer that Pain would release the day after. It was released on October 10th on SoundCloud, YouTube, and Bandcamp, appearing on streaming 2 days later.
