Taking a little time out from the European promotional tour for his debut album "Catch Me If You Can", rising hip hop star Bashy dropped into Rooney’s Boxing Gym in London for some serious R&R, Bashy style.
During his time at the gym, Bashy, from Chiswick, West London, spent some time talking with former Team GB Olympic head coach Terry Edwards MBE, who is Rooney's director of coaching and boxing development as well as head coach, before being given a workout by trainer Darren Hamilton, who is also an unbeaten pro light welterweight.
After the grueling session, Bashy spoke briefly about the tour promoting his debut album. “The album is going really well," he said. "Its getting great support up and down the country and around the world. I just came back from Paris, which was good fun, and I’m off to Budapest on Tuesday. It’s all going really well.”
Turning his attention back to his time at Rooney’s Boxing Gym and the pugilistic arts, Bashy said, “It’s been really good, hard work, but really good. I love boxing. I used to do Taekwondo as a youngster, but sparring and boxing is more interesting.
"It’s a lot more technical than people think. They think you can just jump in the ring and box, but it’s not like that. You know what I’m saying, it takes a lot of skill and dedication. I’d love to get into it man, I’m gonna try and get to back to Rooney’s when I can.”
Bashy’s new album Catch Me If You Can is available direct from Bashy’s website, www.bashy.com, or for download on iTunes.
Or catch him live at the Love Music Hate Racism show on Obudia Island, Budapest, Hungary on August 11 or at The Mix Festival in Burgess Park on August 15.
