He believes that people find strength in music they can relate to. His biggest musical influences are the best in the industry at what they do, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, the late Tupac Shakur and the late Roger Troutman. From the age of 11 O-dawg began to notice his passion for music as he began to write his own rap lyrics. After about 5 years of perfecting the craft he also realized he had a passion for producing as well. He put his first professional keyboard (Roland XP-50) on layaway at the age of 16 and struggled until it was paid for. His love for music has always driven him to sacrifice his own money for needed equipment, and as a result Tyma Hit Records was born. Wanting to learn as much as he could he also began to study the craft of mixing and mastering along side of one of Louisville's most respected mixing and mastering engineers, Dez Thompkins. With all of the different hats O-dawg can wear in the studio he still enjoys being an artist the most.

Years after he began to record his own music he realized a need for something different and unique to set him apart from other artist,so he began to study an instrument made famous by the late Roger Troutman known as the talkbox. As he began to master the instrument he began to utilize it more and more into his music as a lead instrument just as the late Roger Troutman did,and not just as an instrument only used as an accent, as by most other artist. The talkbox has become one with what O-dawg calls his signature sound.

O-dawg believes that music is his God given gift and not just something he does well at random. So as a result he uses his gift to create a balanced perspective of the negative and the positive world around him, while not compromising his own spirituality. So experience music in it's most realistic,balanced, up close, personal and intimate form, Experience O-dawg!
