We had the good fortune of connecting with Tarik Boom and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tarik, what do you think makes you most happy? Why?
I make myself happy. I tell myself everyday your worth it. I tell myself I’m hot. I make sure to do thing that ONLY make me happy. Nobody can ruin my happiness but me.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
To sum everything up nothing is easy. I always stood out from the crowd. My style was authentic & original. I use to beat myself up about doing what I want without any regrets. Now i live how i want ! FREE ! Me staying true to who I am gave me the opportunities I deserved not the ones I wanted.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Now my best friend already knows once they touchdown we going to grab some Korean Bbq ! Haha. I don’t really make plans with my friends , we just go with flow and make memories together. We just love being around each & having a good laugh. I know we definitely got plans to sit on the highest mountain in Los Angeles & watch the view.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There is one person that I would like to leave unnamed. I met a few months & he showed me so much love & support that haven’t experienced ever !! He came to one the biggest shows in my career. Attended almost every dance class i taught out in LA. Not to mention always kept me inspired to keep trying new things. I never met anyone like him. Im grateful he was there, hopefully he will be here with me forever.
