        JBoogTEX is a multi-talented artist with absolutely no boundaries to his style or method. Born on the east side of Houston, Texas, his intense lyricism is driven by the streets that he grew up in. Learning at a young age, the harsh realities that people have to face in life from the lack of parenting, due to alcoholism and drug addiction, JBoog has mastered the art of survival over depression and heartache through music. 
       Though JBoog's first real love was discovered in local warehouse shows that hosted Houston's underground punk scene, he quickly showed that his talent could not be restricted to a single style or flavor. From blues to country, jazz to gutteral death metal, new-wave ska to hip-hop, the unbelievable stories told by JBoog, through his music, have inspired people all over the country, and continue to drop the jaws of listeners throughout the world.

Fady Michael, known by the alias Best Intentions, began this project as a personal journey of self-realization and catharsis. Now, it’s steadily carving out a distinct space in the global electronic music scene—anchored by one core principle: Sonic Storytelling.

The project made its debut in September 2024, and has since caught the attention of major artists and respected labels in the progressive, organic, and melodic house scene. The project has been featured on notable radio shows, notably, Purified #464 with Nora En Pure Closing with "Petrichor".

Rooted in progressive and organic house, the sound blends low-driving rhythms, organic percussion, rich harmonies, and emotive motifs. Each track is designed to guide listeners through a journey of their own. While merging Eastern and Western influences, Best Intentions explores the many shades of emotive house music—inviting listeners along for the ride. 

Stay tuned—there’s much more on the way.
