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

Ogechi, appreciate you joining us today. Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?

I released my 1st track “Blvck + Womvn” on all dsp’s in the summer of 2017 at 19. I was a freshman in Georgia’s state’s film school while working on it. Career wise I had been spoken word poet and author (Lost Negro Records). I actually try not to think about because to me life played out that way when it could and was supposed to happen. I’m involved in several things outside of music and I feel like in having a colorful full life and respecting divine timing, it lessens the perceived irritation not starting sooner. As well as adding to my personal vitality and overall artistry.

Ogechi, 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?
