Born and raised in Louisiana, Brock Thornton aka Boogie T, has risen from the bayou to bring the low end. Since the tender age of eight, he’s expressed his creativity through writing and playing music. Whether he’s producing dubstep, funk, blues, or anything in between, Boogie T is an entertainer at heart, weaving a variety of musical elements and instruments into his signature sound. Boogie T’s goal in the studio and behind the decks is simple: to make great music and to connect with people.
Boogie T landed his first label release in 2017 on Ganja White Night’s SubCarbon Records with his debut ‘Soul’d Out EP,’ earning him a spot on the iTunes Top 10 Electronic Album charts. Since his debut release, Boogie T has delivered his funky, bass-heavy sound to top-tier labels such as Atlantic/BigBeat and Ultra Records/Sony Music. In 2018 (on 4/20, naturally) Boogie T launched his own record label, Drama Club Recordings, with a mission to deliver his own music, as well as to sign tracks from some of his favorite artists in bass music. Drama Club Recordings is now home to many Boogie T releases, as well as music from both established peers and promising up-and-comers.
In 2018, Boogie T took his career to new heights with the premiere of his live band, BOOGIE T.RIO, featuring hometown bandmates Andrew ‘Yàno’ Yanovski on the keys and Frank ‘Animal Drums’ Castro on drums and percussion. The positive response was immediate, leading BOOGIE T.RIO to release five EPs and perform across North America on their own headline tours in 2019 and 2023, along with appearances at Voodoo Fest, Okeechobee, and Red Rocks.
Boogie T’s touring history as a DJ is punctuated by a number of headline tours, most recently including his headline Outbreak Tour in 2023, a whirlwind adventure across over 25 stops sponsored by Monster Energy. This tour not only showcased Boogie T’s ability to command the stage and captivate audiences throughout North America, but also reaffirmed his status as a live performance phenomenon. Beyond his own headline tours, Boogie T has become a fixture at some of the world’s top music festivals, gracing the stage at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and EDC Las Vegas.
