In a record-breaking debut, 803Fresh’s latest single “Boots On The Ground” has stormed the charts, clinching the #1 spot on the iTunes Top 200 Blues category in less than 24 hours and now topping r@b digital song sales—outpacing even heavy hitters like Chris Brown’s “Residuals.” This is an exclusive Buck Report spotlight on the Southern soul powerhouse who is taking the music scene by storm.

A Meteoric Rise

Hailing from Wagener, South Carolina, 803Fresh (born Douglas Furtick on February 19, 1990, in Augusta, Georgia) has been making waves since his early days singing at Union Hill Baptist Church in Hollow Creek. Overcoming personal tragedy at the age of 14 with the loss of his father, Douglas channeled his soulful gift into music by joining The Cedar Brach Association Youth Choir—a decision that set him on a relentless path across the East Coast and into the hearts of fans nationwide.

Discovered by the visionary team at Snake Eyez Music Group, 803Fresh quickly carved out a niche in the Southern Soul genre. His authentic sound and magnetic stage presence have earned him collaborations with noted artists such as King George, Charmeka Joquelle, and Frank Johnson. Now with a string of high-profile bookings—including Las Vegas and Miami, FL, as well as 88 live shows across various cities—803Fresh is set to bring his signature sound to stages from coast to coast.

“Boots On The Ground”: The Anthem of the South

Behind the magic is the sonic craftsmanship of Terrance Thompson, better known as T Da Wizard, CEO, Producer, and Engineer at Brickhouse Production LLC from Blackville, SC. His expert touch helped shape the track’s distinctive sound, blending modern production with the raw, earthy vibe that defines 803Fresh’s music.
