notes

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 Byrd, 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.

Oshy was 15, when everything changed. He was at a church in Harlem NY when this 11yr 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.

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 on his new album.

    author: Niki from MIA

    This album is fantastic. The music grabs your attention, and the lyrics are meaningful. Oshy wrote songs for young and old people, and I love the skit which is track number 7. I agree with Sharisse, “This is the best CD I've heard in a long time.” Keep doing your thing Oshy, and remember that I am your number 1 fan.

    I hope everyone buys this album. My favorite song that I have to hear before I go to sleep is called, "What am I gonna do?" It's the must have album since R.Kelly so you know it's going to reach number one on the billboard charts.
