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

OHGEE, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today One of the toughest things about progressing in your creative career is that there are almost always unexpected problems that come up – problems that you often can’t read about in advance, can’t prepare for, etc. Have you had such and experience and if so, can you tell us the story of one of those unexpected problems you’ve encountered?

The most recent and I feel like the most relevant set back , or unexpected issue iam having right now is .
I was recently in a severe car accident. Aug 13th I was driving home from a studio session late night,it was pouring rain and I lost control switching lanes on the highway and hit a light post going 65mph. Literally lucky to be alive and breathing again . I suffered from severe injuries , internal & external but by the grace of God iam still alive. I Don’t know if these types of things ever happened to yall but for me it’s always right when iam about to see light at the end of the tunnel “Boom” something happens to me that sets be back or is tragic or I take a financial hit or something. And it’s always like right when iam about to catch a break or at a time it’s really important for me to invest in myself due to an opportunity knocking on my door. But issues I’ve had in the past and problems I was getting involved with had to due with having the wrong ‘so called” friends or people around me. I really learned the hard way and that’s why these days I stay alone and to myself especially cuz having poisonous people and energy around you will literally get you killed or ruin all your dreams and accomplishments. But as far as the set backs or the injuries or my fails or falls , it ain’t going to ever stop me iama get up everytime and still chase my dreams and continue right where I was slowed down at. Minor set back Major Comeback

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

For everyone that doesn’t know me or my story and for my new listeners. First off I wanna say ” I Highly Appreciate all of you “!! For tapping in and supporting my movement and my road to chasing my dreams. Thankyou .
My Name is Orlando Gonzalez Aka OHGEE
I was born & raised in Miami FL . Iam a Pisces born in ’86 . Grew up real fast was always Infatuated with the streets at a early age. Got arrested first time at 12yrs old and kept getting in trouble throughout my whole life. Grew up around gangs and drug dealers and it had a big part of my life. Growing up I always looked up to my older sisters homeboys and the dope boys in my Neighborhood. I remember being a Jit always picturing me being like them and selling dope and having the nice cars and the jewelry. Just like I always dreamed of being a big famous rapper.
But regardless of my surroundings or issues at home I always was the type of person to put others and friends before myself, I always had a pure heart and always was a open book. Until years later after being betrayed , spending time locked up , family and friends dying was when I learned how to be wise on what people I have around me or what I tell certain people about my personal current life issues. I do also have a beautiful daughter that will be a teenager this coming year that I do miss everyday.
As far as the music goes. I’ve been rapping and writing music , and freestyling since I was 14-15 years old . Now that iam older and understand things about my childhood i used music and rap growing up ,basically as a outlet for my pain and it has always been like my therapy. I love music all types of music also . I decided to go professionally with my music after Lil bro passed away and I just seen so many people I love and family going through so many hard times and financial issues and me myself going through hard times and I just woke up one morning last year and decided to start recording from all the songs I’ve written.i write music everyday and been writing for years so I have a ton of material to work with. But music is not my only talent or trade or skill . I am also I certified Master Auto Body Collison Tech. I went to school for it back in 2007 I was on house arrest at the time and decided to go back to school and I knew I wanted to study automotive , I love cars and American muscle cars. Iam more of a Cadillac and Chevy type of guy. I owned 2 Auto body shops in the past but eventually failed only due to lack of Capitol. But I still paint cars and fix cars on the side and I still push the car business . My goals once my dreams come true and I make it big with my music is to not only help alot of people around me and family but I plan on starting new businesses less labor intensive and to invest in certain things i have all planned out .

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

Man to be honest is seeing the fans or the people that like the music and can relate or feel it . That feeling is amazing or seeing all the people from other countries supporting it and the positive feedback. Also performing on stage and the crowd feeling it and loving it. For me it’s like I go blank from all my issues and problems in life and the rush from being on stage and then the people coming up in appreciation of the performance and my music means everything to me

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

I was outside of a club one night. At the time I still smoked cigarettes, I stepped outside to have a smoke and white I was smoking I hear a women screaming deep in the parking lot. When I looked I saw 3 men surrounding her and her car , either trying to mug her or hurt her or whatever, so I screamed across the parking lot for them to leave her alone , as soon as they heard me they all came charging at me. I tried fighting them as best as I could and ended up waking up in a hospital. I suffered lacerations all over face, hands, and a couple punctures. That following month I had 3 performances in Tampa on stage at a club throughout that week. I remember the fear and anxiety I had going to that club alone in the hood and having to get on stage again .I remember being this close to canceling the shows and not showing up cuz the anxiety and Paranoia was unreal. I talked myself into Not giving up and going anyways. Every single day the week before and even though my performance was not the greatest iam glad I went and overcame my Ptsd and anxiety those nights.
