Oshy Bio
In the world of music, there are great singers, talented songwriter, amazing
vocal stylists, as well as producers, and performers who are at the top of
their game, but it is a rare thing to find all the aforementioned embodied
in one person. However, this is true of an extraordinary R&B artist named
Oshy.
Oshy, who was born Thomas Bird, discovered the art of singing and
songwriting while watching his father rehearse, record, and perform. His
father was a member of the R&B group "Total Climax" and when Oshy heard them
sing and harmonize, he knew that it was something he wanted to do. Using an
old tape recorder, he would study his father and then try to emulate his
vocal ability. It was obvious to all that Oshy was gifted but had yet to
find his true voice. It would be years before he would.
Oshy was 15, when everything changed. He was at a church in Harlem NY when
this 11-year-old boy walked out in front the choir and sang a solo. It was
the most soulful and emotion pulling singing he had ever heard. It was so
powerful, that it actually put tears in his eyes. Wanting to become that
kind of vocalist, Oshy worked his craft like never before. He worked his
vocals as if his life depended on it and in many ways it did. His childhood hadn't always been easy and he had watched family members and too many
people he knew get lost or taken by the streets. Oshy wanted more and he
knew that what one achieves was completely a reflection of what one puts
into it, and he put in all he had.
Celebrated R&B/ Hip Hop producer Ron Browz (Lil' Kim, Snoop, 50 Cent,
Ludacris, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, DMX, Big L, Fat Joe, Jae Millz and
Nas) saw something special in the young singer and encouraged him to
not only sing, but to learn and understand writing and vocal arrangements. Browz was really influential in Oshy's early growth as a songwriter. Over the years
Oshy has been a member of a few groups where he wrote and vocally stylized
90% of the songs. His talents helped lead to deal offers from Atlantic
Records, Sony, and Warner Bros to name a few. But as they say, all things
happen for a reason, and this was definitely true for the aspiring singer. Each
time with each group, due to situations and the wrong team around him, the
deals didn't go through which led to the groups going their separate ways
and Oshy focusing on what he always knew was his true path, that of a solo
artist. Aside from Ron Browz, Oshy has worked with industry powerhouses
such as Big Drawers (Destiny's Child), Wynetta Wynn (Sony songwriter) Red
Spider, Frantic, and Frost. He has also sat in on sessions with R&B groups
112 and Jagged Edge.
Oshy, which means "The Best Comes" in Cherokee Indian (which is a part of
his heritage) is now focused on taking his solo career to the top of the
charts. Signed to Dreamsound Records, Oshy's CD will drop internationally
during the summer of 06. Oshy has written all the songs in his album.
