Ian “Schoolboy” Garrett at Fight Life Scene
A fighting spirit is what has kept Ian Schoolboy Garrett going his whole life. Everyone has setbacks in life, everyone has things that cause us to make the choices we make, but not many experience such tragedy as Ian has at such a young age. When he was just eight years old he witnessed his mother get beaten, then in trying to flee, he witnessed her death in a tragic accident. After the funeral his natural father didn’t want him. Tragedy, pain, heartbreak, to the highest degree – this is the kind of experience that shapes a person’s life with a single choice – give up or fight. Ian Garrett chose to fight, literally. And fight he did.
He was fortunate to meet Jack Leonard, the USA Hall of Fame boxer and trainer who saw his potential and even adopted him. In Ian’s boxing career, of 26 fights, he’s won 21, with an unparalleled performance over fighters who were older and more experienced.
The celebrity life of being a professional boxer didn’t last long for him though when he got into trouble and ended up in prison, despite several witnesses testifying to his innocence. There he learned even more, and has been creating powerful music about his life and helping community youth, while still promoting boxing.
Fight Life Scene and Roueche Blend is proud to be partnered with Ian “Schoolboy” Garrett and Third World Ventures to promote unity and collaboration in combat sports and in helping youth follow a better path than many of us have. You’ll find his songs in many of our videos, and it’s available under Ian Garrett “Bandit” on Spotify and Apple Music, and partner apparel available at RoucheBlend.com.
