GetBoogie: Putting Angleton, Texas on the Map
Angleton, Texas — In a music industry where the biggest names often come from the biggest cities, GetBoogie is focused on proving that some of Texas’ most compelling stories can come from the smaller communities between them. Representing Angleton and Brazoria County, just south of Houston, the BMG artist is using authentic storytelling and firsthand experience to put the 979 on the map.
Authentic Stories From the 979For GetBoogie, music has always been less about chasing fame and more about documenting life as he knows it. His music reflects the struggles, experiences and realities of everyday life in Brazoria County, giving listeners an unfiltered perspective on growing up in the area.
A Life That Became Part of the MusicThat authenticity comes from experience. Throughout his life, GetBoogie has faced challenges involving addiction, legal troubles, physical trauma and the pressures that come with navigating street life. One of the most defining moments came when he was thrown from a moving vehicle and subsequently run over. Despite the severity of the situation, GetBoogie eventually recovered and returned to what had always been a major part of his identity: making music.
“Kiss the Kurb” and a Remarkable ComebackWhile still recovering in the hospital, GetBoogie released his first track, “Kiss the Kurb.” The song went on to become one of his fan favorites, carrying an even deeper meaning because its cover features a picture of the actual vehicle involved in the incident.
Overcoming Addiction and SetbacksRather than allowing those experiences to define the limits of his future, GetBoogie has turned them into fuel for his music. His journey has included overcoming drug addiction and working to regain his mental focus after extended periods of physical and emotional hardship.
Finding His Way Back to MusicThere were times when making music became difficult because of everything happening around him and the toll those experiences took. Time spent in and out of jail created additional setbacks, affecting him mentally, physically and financially. But walking away from music was never the answer.
BMG Has Been There From the BeginningFor GetBoogie, the connection to music goes back long before any aspirations of building a career. He and the BMG crew have been freestyling and creating music together since seventh grade. In many ways, the music was already part of their lives before they ever considered where it could eventually take them.
From Fan to Recording Alongside Artists He AdmiredThat foundation has since led GetBoogie into rooms and environments he once experienced only as a fan. One of his biggest career highlights has been recording alongside artists connected to the Houston music scene, including TSF Moneymade Nero, as well as regularly recording at the Sauce Factory.
Building Experience Through Texas MusicBeing around artists and creatives he grew up listening to has given GetBoogie firsthand exposure to the level of work and dedication required to take music seriously. His experiences have also extended to South by Southwest, where he has performed and continued building his presence within Texas music.
Working With Respected NamesAlong the way, GetBoogie has worked with respected engineers including Sauce Samurai and has participated in freestyle sessions with artists such as Peso Peso. These experiences have reinforced something GetBoogie already believed: there is talent throughout Texas far beyond the state’s most obvious musical markets.
Putting Angleton on the MapThat belief is at the heart of his vision for the future. GetBoogie wants Angleton, Brazoria County and the surrounding 979 area to become recognized as legitimate sources of music and culture.
More Than Houston, Dallas and San AntonioRather than allowing the conversation about Texas music to revolve exclusively around Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, he wants listeners to look toward the smaller communities that are producing artists with stories of their own.
Proud to Represent the 979“I’m proud to be from Angleton, Texas and not afraid to let anyone know how it goes in the 979,” GetBoogie says.
A Movement Beyond One ArtistThat pride extends beyond his individual career. He sees a larger movement developing around him, including members of the BMG crew and other artists from the area such as Renowe, Xowe and many more.
The Goal Is Bigger Than FameFor GetBoogie, the goal isn’t necessarily to become famous simply for the sake of fame. It is about creating enough momentum that people begin recognizing where he and the artists around him came from.
Why the Small Towns MatterThe message is simple: the smaller towns matter, too. GetBoogie wants his music to help shine a light on the artists, stories and culture coming from communities that don’t always receive the same attention as Texas’ major cities.
“Brush Ya Shoulder Off” Is Out NowAs GetBoogie continues developing his catalog and representing BMG, he is also pushing his newest release, “Brush Ya Shoulder Off,” featuring TSF Moneymade Nero. The song is currently available across major streaming platforms, with an accompanying music video on the way.
Turning the Past Into MusicWith his newest release, years of lived experience behind his lyrics and a growing connection to artists throughout Texas, GetBoogie is entering the next chapter of his career with a clear purpose.
Angleton Has a Story to TellHe isn’t trying to rewrite his past. He’s turning it into music. And as he continues pushing forward, GetBoogie hopes his story does more than establish himself as an artist — he wants it to help put Angleton, Brazoria County and the 979 into conversations they have historically been left out of.
The Next Names Could Come From AnywhereBecause according to GetBoogie, some of the next names people need to know won’t necessarily come from Texas’ biggest cities. They might come from the small towns just outside of them.
