o’shua – Mamasita

O’shua is an American rapper/producer born in Detroit, Michigan. His artistic venture started at 8 years old when his uncle gave him his bass guitar. O’shua states that he remembers he could barely hold it, but it piqued his interest. That led to his parents buying his first guitar; a nylon stringed classical. He went on to study classical music and win multiple scholarships to attend the Flint institute of music in Michigan. O’shua didn't start writing his own music until his sophomore year of highschool, but was always freestyling and singing whatever came to his mind. Eventually, he moved to Boston, where he spent more of his formative years collaborating and growing amongst other creators. Moving forward, he toured around the US with a few of the friends he’d made in Boston that he ultimately ended up moving to Nashville with in 2018. The past few

years of his experience writing, producing, and collaborating with the artists around him have consistently refined the unique aspects of his sound. He says, “whether it’s subconscious or conscious, my musical identity has evolved from all the phases I’ve gone through over the years as a listener with electronic, alternative, gospel, classical, and hip hop. I believe “Mamasita” to be the current epitome of those phases, and the best reflection of my current identity, direction, and mood as an artist.
