Coming from the ethnically rich area that is the state capital of Lansing, Oh Zee has been mixing it up with great acceptance since the age of seven when he picked up his first guitar. And in the next 7 years he would study voice in the church choir, learn the bass and drums, write his first raps and begging to record his own tracks.
In developing as a musician and person, OH Zee directed his life toward and within the city of Atlanta. There he found openness acceptance and many sources of enjoyment and enrichment. As his talents were growing Oh Zee discovered the incredible sounds and peoples of LA, but his heart eventually took him back to Atlanta and home to Detroit.
