Music Hack Day is an international 24-hour event where programmers, designers and artists come together to conceptualize, build and demo the future of music. Software, hardware, mobile, web, instruments, art — anything goes as long as it’s music related. At a Music Hack Day, you have 24 hours to build something cool and then show it off to your peers. It is a fun way to learn about something new, to be immersed in music technology for a weekend, and to hang out with lots of really smart, interesting people who love music and building things.

Today, we’re primed to introduce you to Bosco Delrey, a Brooklyn-based musician who Diplo quite aptly describes as “a sort of garbage can Elvis from New Jersey… teaspoon craziness, a pinch of rockabilly, and full cup of soul dressed in a leather jacket.” Pretty impressive-sounding, no? Well, get this: According to the musician himself, he was kind of a child prodigy to boot. Have we convinced you to come out and see him/rue your wasted youth yet? Yeah, we thought so.
