YOU BE YOU LIVE

They told women to ask for a seat at the table.

This song says something different.

Welcome to MEETING IN THE BOARDROOM.

Built on the attitude, funk, harmonies and swagger of an unforgettable 1980s girl-group record, this is a celebration of women who build companies, lead teams, move markets, raise generations, change industries and still get asked to prove they belong in the room.

Not anymore.

“We got a meeting in the boardroomGotta change things real soonUt-ooooh, ut-ut oooooh…”

This is about power without apology.Grace without limitation.Leadership without permission.

From the kitchen table to the executive table.From raising the next generation to leading the next generation.From being underestimated to making the decision.

The choice is mine.The choice is yours too.

Turn it up.

When they come for one of us, they’re coming for all of us.

The Bogeyman was never about one group. It has always been about teaching us who to fear today, so someone else can be feared tomorrow. That’s exactly why I wrote The Bogeyman Was Built trilogy.

THE BOGEYMAN IS #1 ON AMAZON | Official Victory Song by William Rochelle

The Boogeyman Was Built, Volume One reached #1 in an Amazon category and entered the Top 100 in African American History.

This fast-paced celebration is bigger than a ranking. It represents every reader who opened the book, questioned the story they were given, and decided to listen to a different perspective.

The Bogeyman Was Built explores race, American history, identity, power, media narratives, fear, and the systems that decide who society treats as dangerous.

I wrote this book for people who have been misunderstood, mislabeled, underestimated, or turned into the villain in someone else’s story.

Being #1 in one Amazon category does not make the achievement smaller. It means real people are reading, listening, thinking, and sharing.

The Bogeyman Song: Nashville Edition

The Bogeyman Song: Nashville Edition brings The Bogeyman Was Built into a country storytelling space with acoustic guitar, layered vocals, steady rhythm, and the kind of raw truth that sounds like it was written on a porch after a long life and a longer fight.

This song was inspired by my book series, The Bogeyman Was Built: How America Manufactured a Monster, and the People Who Refused to Become It by William Rochelle.

The book examines fear, identity, power, history, survival, and the stories America has told about people it never fully tried to understand. The song carries that same spirit, but through a Nashville lens: honest, grounded, emotional, and human.

This is more than a song about fear.It is about refusing to become what the world tried to name you.It is about standing in your truth.It is about letting the bogeyman lose its power.

Volume One of The Bogeyman Was Built is available now on Amazon.Buy the book here: [Insert Amazon Book Link]

Watch Me is a song about the shift.

That moment when you stop waiting for the world to hand you permission and finally remember that your life is still yours. The fear may have been loud. The setbacks may have been real. The road may have been unfair. But none of that gets the final word.

This record is built around movement. Snaps, claps, breath hits, foot stomps, and sound coming from different directions. It is not just a beat. It is choreography inside the music. It is the feeling of walking back into your own life with your shoulders up, your spirit awake, and your future looking brighter than your past ever expected.

Watch Me is not arrogance.

It is alignment.

It is gratitude with a bassline.

It is self belief with a beat drop.

It is the sound of someone saying, “I’m still here, I’m still rising, and I’m not done.”

Thanks for reading, William Rochelle, but you can call me Bill.
