PinkGrasshopper. had the opportunity to attend Tha Boogie’s EP release party for their new music project titled “Good Luck Charlie Vettuno” this past Thursday at Gallery 360 Melrose and it was quite an experience!  The combined elements of their music and art through photography to present an evening of finesse and talent!

If you don’t know who these talented individuals , we have a bit of information to share with you!

Tha Boogie is a pop alternative duo from Rancho Cucamonga, California who write, produce, record, arrange and perform their own music! Members Tuko Proby (Tuko) and Jarryd James (James Jet) met in high school and eventually created a unique style that blends Hip Hop, R&B and Alternative Soul.  Toby describes their music as 80’s inspired, “We start a song and it always comes out that way without even trying.”

PinkGrasshopper. also had the chance to catch up with Tuko Proby to find out about his style influences!  Tuko styles himself and pulls most of his pieces from his fathers closet! He says his parents were super fly, “My dad was like Shaft.”  Tuko combines his parents’ vintage pieces with his style and makes magic!

We must say, both fellas (Tha Boogie) were looking quite dapper as their mixture of bow ties and 30’s inspired pieces defined a very distinct look! Tha Boogies musical creativity, passion for fashion and instinctual style will take them far. We can’t wait to hear more from them!
