Boris Bouma was born in Holland as the only child of a prominent Dutch actress, and an absent father.

Spending his youth as an aspiring athlete and criminal, Boris didn't begin singing and writing music until the age of 22 and joined his first band Frozen Sun in 1995, after spending time in South-east Asia and Mexico.

FROZEN SUN released two critically acclaimed albums through various Indie labels between 1995 and 1998. The band toured extensively throughout Europe and the USA , their videos received (nocturnal) airplay on MTV Europe. The highlight of the band's career was playing at The Dynamo Open Air Festival in 1996.

Feeling musically stagnant and restless, Boris left the band and Holland in early 1999, relocating to Hollywood . Shortly after he arrived, Boris tried out for several bands, one of them Linkin Park. Eventually he joined the band TRIGGERPIMP.

Despite constantly being courted by major labels while drawing large crowds in Hollywood, TRIGGERPIMP never landed a recording contract. Pivotal to Boris's singing career was legendary Ian Copeland of FBI ("cheers and regards") who sent Boris out on his first ever US tour. The band's video "Medicine" won the 2000 MVPA award for best new Director. Other TRIGGERPIMP songs were featured on popular television shows on MTV and VH1, which included Road Rules. Also, one of the band's songs “Lost” landed on the soundtrack of the movie "The Butterfly Effect", starring Ashton Kucher.

In 2000, Boris left TRIGGERPIMP to join another local band "EPIDEMIC." Short after Triggerpimp disbanded, EPIDEMIC signed a major recording contract with Elektra Entertainment, in 2001. As well as a publishing deal with Famous Music. At this time, Boris started Humble in the Face of Music as a home for all his Musical Endeavors.

The self-titled album EPIDEMIC, was recorded in Seattle and Los Angeles in winter 2001/2002 and was produced by Rick Parashar. The tracks included a live orchestra arranged by David Campbell for the song "Burden of a Thought", recorded at Hollywood's legendary Capitol Studios. The band immediately hit the road and toured extensively in 2002 and 2003 across North America. The band's first single "Walk Away" peaked at #34 in Billboard's mainstream rock chart and was featured in Sony Playstation's "Madden 2002."

Other songs written by Boris have been featured on VH1's "All Access and MTV's "Sorority Life" to name a few and still earn a decent living on many pay to play services and satellite radio. Also, on and off, Boris has been a columnist for a popular Dutch / Begian magazine “Rock tribune”.

Currently, Boris lives in Los Angeles and has just finished collaborating with former TRIGGERPIMP bandmate Dieter Hartmann on music for Discovery channel's "Biker Build Off". Furthermore he is creating ring tones for Plush Mobile, scoring the upcoming cartoon "Vampress Girls", as well as writing and recording with his new project "NOISE WITHIN."
