Boonie Mayfield’s latest musical creation “Mile High State of Mind” ft. Giane Morris Vaughn defies traditional genre categorization. The fusion of hip-hop and rock elements results in a unique sound that highlights the artist’s versatile talent. Drawing inspiration from his songs “Dream a Mile High” and “Self Made Era”, from the BLACK FLOYD album, the track takes listeners on a journey that elevates their state of mind. Originally intended as a background beat for an animated fight scene featuring his Black Floyd characters (Mi, Moss Elf & Eye), Boonie repurposed the music to create the track “Mile High State of Mind”. The single includes a B-Side track, where Boonie basically, sampled himself from the A-Side song, and created another track called “B-Side (Peep the Wings)”.

For those still unfamiliar with this forward-thinking artist, Boonie Mayfield, also known as Boon Doc, is a multi-talented creative who has established himself as an independent recording artist, music producer, actor, filmmaker, and educator. Hailing from his hometown of Colorado Springs, CO, Boonie started his career as a rapper and gradually progressed to selling his self-produced beats. His online presence burgeoned when he became one of the first online beat-making video pioneers during the early days of YouTube.

He accomplished this by teaching himself multiple instruments, gaining an in-depth understanding of music theory, and honing his craft. Boonie Mayfield’s genre-bending sound has garnered him a considerable following and cemented his position as a versatile and innovative artist in the music industry.
