O-dawg, a Louisville, Kentucky. based
Writer/Rapper/Producer/Talkboxer storms the scene with
a unique blend of HipHop, R&B and Spiritually driven
music. With his years of experience he walks with a
musical confidence that is well deserved. His music is
connected to his spirituality, and real life
experiences. He believes that people find strength in
music they can relate to. His biggest musical
influences are the best in the industry at what they
do. Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, the late Tupac Shakur and the
late Roger Troutman.
From the age of 11 O-dawg began to notice his passion
for music as he began to write his own rap
lyrics. After about 5 years of perfecting the craft he
also realized he had a passion for producing as
well. He put his first professional keyboard(Roland
XP-50) on layaway at the age of 16 and struggled until
it was paid for. His love for music has always driven
him to sacrifice his own money for needed
equipment, and as a result Tyma Hit Records was
born. Wanting to learn as much as he could he also
began to study the craft of mixing and mastering along
side of one of Louisville's most respected mixing and
mastering engineers, Dez Thompkins. With all of the
different hats O-dawg can wear in the studio he still
enjoys being a artist the most.
Years after he began to record his own music he
realized a need for something different and unique to
set him apart from other artist, so he began to study a
instrument made famous by the late Roger Troutman
known as the talkbox. As he began to master the
instrument he began to utilize it more and more into
his music as a lead instrument just as the late Roger
Troutman did, and not just as an instrument only used
as an accent, as by most other artist. The talkbox has
become one with what he calls his signature sound.
O-dawg believes that music is his God given gift and
not just something he does well at random. So as a
result he uses his gift to create a balanced
perspective of the negative and the positive world
around him, while not compromising his own
spirituality. So experience music in it's most
realistic, balanced, up close, personal and intimate
form, Experience O-dawg!
