Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to THE OSHI . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

THE, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

A MAJOR TIME FOR ME WAS WHEN I KNEW I HAD THE MUSIC BUT I JUST NEEDED MORE FUNDING TO GET THINGS DONE. I WAS ACTUALLY NERVOUS AT FIRST BUT I HAD A GOOD FRIEND REACH OUT TO ME AND TELL ME TO SUBMIT MY SONGS TO CERTAIN MUSIC GRANT PROGRAMS. I DIDNT PUT ANY DOUBT BEHIND IT THIS TIME, LIKE I WOULD IN THE PAST, I REPEATED TO MYSELF OVER AND OVER. I WILL WIN THE GRANT. I HAPPEN TO WIN TWO MUSIC GRANTS IN A SPAN OF ONE YEAR AND THEY BOTH HELPED FUEL MAJOR MOVES IN MY MUSIC CAREER THAT I AM SO THANKFUL FOR TIL THIS DAY. I AM MORE OPEN TO TAKING A RISK NOW BECAUSE WITHOUT A RISK THERE IS NO REWARD.

THE, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

IVE BEEN MUSICALLY INVOLVED MOST MY LIFE, I PLAYED INSTRUMENTS, DID DANCE TEAM, PRODUCE MUSIC. IT WAS JUST ALWAYS AROUND ME. MY DAD LOVES HIP HOP AND MAKING MUSIC. MY MOM PLAYED THE VIOLIN AND KNOWS HOW TO SING AND DANCE, SO I JUST THINK THE URGE NATURALLY GRAVITATED TOWARDS ME. I REALLY LOVE THE FEELING MUSIC GIVES AND I KNEW I WANTED TO MAKE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW I MIGHT FEEL THROUGH THAT, IT WAS ALWAYS HARD FOR ME TO TRULY EXPRESS MY EMOTIONS SO I GET A SENSE OF FREEDOM THROUGH SONGWRITING. I DIDNT CONSIDER THIS A GROWING CAREER FOR ME UNTIL 2019 WHEN I RELEASED MY FIRST COMPLETE MUSIC PROJECT EVER WHICH IS SELF ENTITLED AND WHAT I CALL THE START OF IT ALL. IVE BEEN FOCUSING ON MORE RELEASES AND MORE NETWORKING TO REALLY GROW THINGS FOR MY BRAND.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

ENGAGE WITH HEALTHY CRITICISM AND MORE SUPPORT OF ONE ANOTHER. A FUSION OF EVENTS WITH CREATIVES WOULD BE GROWING STAPLE IF DONE RIGHT.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

WHEN PEOPLE RANDOMLY REACH OUT TO YOU AND SAY HEY I SUPPORT YOU. I LOVE YOUR STYLE. THIS SONG REALLY GOT ME THROGH THE DAY. THOSE MOMENTS ARE UNFORGETTABLE BECAUSE I KNOW MY STYLE OF MUSIC ISNT FOR EVERYBODY BUT IT IS FOR SOMEBODY AND THAT RIGHT THERE MOTIVATES ME ALONE.
