Few artists manage to blend genres and purpose the way OH YEAH does. The Maryland-based producer, singer, and songwriter has been carving his path in the music industry for over 20 years, creating a unique sound that fuses Hip-Hop, New Age, R&B, and Gospel Rap. Known for his versatility, his catalog ranges from cinematic instrumentals to uplifting gospel rap anthems that speak to both the soul and the streets.
A Veteran With a Mission
As an ASCAP singer, songwriter, and producer, OH YEAH has spent two decades shaping music not only for himself but for content creators, filmmakers, and even voice-over actors. His ability to tailor music for different platforms and audiences has become a trademark. Beyond commercial projects, he has also partnered with charitable organizations such as the Songs of Love Foundation, creating custom songs for children with terminal illnesses—showcasing his commitment to making music with meaning.
His dedication recently reached a new milestone as he became an active Voting Member of the Recording Academy, putting him one step closer to a Grammy nomination. For an artist who views music as a vehicle for empowerment, this recognition solidifies his place among influential creators.
The New Album: The Pursuit of Godliness
OH YEAH’s upcoming release, The Pursuit of Godliness, marks another bold chapter in his career. More than an album, it is a project designed to inspire listeners to strengthen their relationship with God in the middle of today’s chaos. The artist describes it as “a daily encouragement project to help anyone in pursuit of peace and focus.”
The lead single, accompanied by a stripped-down yet impactful video filmed in a staircase and his personal studio, sets the tone for what fans can expect. The visuals serve as part one of a double-feature track, emphasizing the intimate and raw nature of the project. You can watch the official video on YouTube.
A Sound That Stands Apart
For those who have never heard OH YEAH’s music, imagine a mix of up-tempo dance rhythms layered with mesmerizing synths and mid-tempo tracks anchored by heavy bass lines. His sound commands attention, combining the grit of Hip-Hop with the spirituality of Gospel Rap and the ambiance of New Age music. The result is a genre-bending style that resonates with fans across different backgrounds.
Past standout releases include “NLWY (No Limit With You)”, a gospel rap anthem about faith and perseverance, “Higher Up”, a cinematic tribute to Tyler Perry’s story, and “Club Shay Shay”, a high-energy homage to Shannon Sharpe. Together, these records showcase the diversity of OH YEAH’s artistry and his refusal to be confined by traditional labels.
Collaborations That Inspire
Beyond his solo catalog, OH YEAH has also made an impact through meaningful collaborations. Most notably, he partnered with WOCU (Women of Color Unite) to create their official theme song, a project that aligned perfectly with his mission of empowerment and representation. He went on to perform the piece live at SOHO in West Hollywood, captivating an audience of hundreds of women, including actress Wendy Raquel Robinson. This milestone not only underscored his ability to blend artistry with purpose but also highlighted the respect he has earned within influential circles.
