Meet OHGEE

We were lucky to catch up with OHGEE recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi OHGEE , thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.

Iam confident in myself I never self doubt what iam capable of. My biggest issue in the music is Iam too real and I just get alot of people judging me or hating on me because they think I just woke up one day and decided to pretend to be this street dude that can rap. Little do they know iam just being 100% me and sharing my life experiences through my music . Then you got all the people that know me out on the streets from growing up and instead of standing behind me and supporting it becuz they literally know my music is my life and iam just being OHGEE ,they rather keep their mouth closed ignore my posts never support it or have my back. Why ? Becuz they know how Real it is and the minute the world sees how real and legit I really am its over with. ill reach levels in this that they don’t want to see me reach. Shoutout to the the couple ppl I do have on my corner I Highly Appreciate them. Honestly nothing good came out ever from me having a good heart looking out for people , looking out for my friends , never ! Nothing ever good came my way from being real… instead they take it as weakness and trying to ruin you and all the good things you worked hard for. Then they go and trash your name when you aint around because they want others to feel the same right after you just finished helping them tremendously weather it be money for their rent , Food , A HOME OVER THEIR HEAD BECUZ THEY WERE HOMELESS AND YOU FEEL BAD AND FEEL THEIR PAIN BECAUSE YOU WERE ONCE HOMELESS .. u feel me , then when you step out one day at night they rob your whole apartment and retro Jordan collection that u invested thousands and collected for years and kept them all in prime condition in the boxes . My whole life i been a hustler and Go Getter. Yea I got in alot of trouble throughout my whole life being stupid believing lies that friends really care and we ride or die or all that bull crap in reality the majority pretended to like me becuz I was a Bread Winner but they hated my talents. Hated that I was a successful Auto Body Tech and owned a Auto Body shop and hated that iam intelligent.. non of that even came easy . I was on House arrest back in 2006-2007 after I got released for 2 counts of battery on a
L.e.o. Then one day I got up and said iam going to take a trade course . We came from The same place had the same struggles infact mine turned worse becuz ive served time multiple times and becuz I was determined to graduate top of Auto body tech school and make something positive turn from all the negativity in my life now iam a hated and judged by the same ppl I used to break my back for and would take the shirt of my back and do without?? You have no idea how many times I wished I could be shady and grimey and just lie all day and take advantage of people .but I just can’t do it . So over the years of betrayal from majority of the people that meant most I learned to just stay completely alone . And I mean completely alone.. its not easy I struggle I feel like I am not even the same person anymore . Not to mention tragic situations and very painful loses I endured .I do get frustrated and in my own thoughts asking myself is all this worth even chasing, do I really want to be part of a industry that is so cutthroat and evil full of hate and jealousy So sometime from being influenced by social media and desperately wanting change in my life i feel like I have to prove myself prove iam real and what i rap about is and was my life u know , until I catch myself and say wait a min i aint gotta prove nothing to anyone .. I just dont understand why I deal with these issues like why you gonna hate and want to destroy a man that would give and help you even when he has nothing … you know I lost my first bodyshop becuz I would give out too many discounts bcuz when ppl come crying in need of help my heart aches for them until you realize it was just a game and you are their entertainment for the day . Over the years you start picking up on it and can spot the snake a mile away and learn to stay away from ppl . Also the rap name “OHGEE” that everyone seems to judge or have a issue with is actually from my initials Orlando Gonzalez . My 5th grade teacher Mrs.Green gave me that nickname OG becuz we had another Orlando in the class, down in Miami its a very popular name actually. Also I been rapping and writing music since I was 13 and I wrote “OHGEE” as my Graffiti Tag back in the days . music has alwys been my dream and I LOVE IT . hopefully eventually the world and my Listeners will see how authentic and Real deal i am and how real this music is too me and see all my hard work and dedication and talent will finally get me my chance to change lives for my family my daughter and many others. And thst way I can no longer be stuck doing hard labor and can make great money doing what I love and what I was born to do.. as far as others opinions its sucks its a tough pill to swallow becuz you automatically think ppl are gonna love you from how genuine you are and respect your talents and goals .But these days its just backwards everything is like opposite of what its supposed to be .there’s no more unity any more no Team players everyone whats to be the Chief and get all the riches and fame.. me I dont want no fame I just want the financial freedom and to finally know what its like to feel happy again and be able to smile and I just know I have the skills and talent to make something eventually happen..

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I Go By OHGEE , which i mentioned in the last section , and I might have wrote too much and got to much into detail so I do apologize. Iam Old .. lol 40 years old iam a master certified Auto Body Tech and Car Painter , i specialize in big wrecks what we call , Heavy Collision i been a certified technician about 18 years now so over the years I mastered painting cars , custom fabrications, basically start to finish in any bodyshop . I’ve owned my own Collison Shop back in 2017 only lasted a couple years due to not having the capital to begin with . A couple years back had some tragic situations happen lost some loved ones dealt with injuries myself and was battling depression from me and my daughters relationship fading away and just things I was dealing with in my life not to mention the extra F’d up games her mother and new bf were adding to the table.. Instead of being strong i fell apart and went through a very evil and dark space in my life , seems like all that was around me was death , funerals , and pain to the point I didn’t want to live this life anymore. But God ! Is Amazing he has saved my life so many times and I never give him the credit and time and glory he deserves .. THANKYOU LORD ! 3 years ago I decided to start putting music out Seriously and see where it takes me . Through out this whole time I was always writing music , freestyling , and rapping just never took it to the next level .I was always working too much and active in the streets too much to even think that it would be possible. Then being my age is another factor that made me think twice about it. But you know what who cares why not? I love music just has much as any other devoted talented artists why not take a chance and a risk and maybe I can promise a secured future for my daughter , maybe the gangbanger troubled kid can be the one who saves this family and repairs everything and bring unity back . Maybe I can retire my mother so she doesn’t have to stand on her feet all day in aches and discomfort after doing it for soooo many years. And just maybe I can change the lives of many many people. Literally Turn Every Wrong I ever made in my life and fix it … who’s gonna judge you or care about your pass when you a multi millionaire.. Do you think iama have issues seeing my daughter when her mother grandmother ,bf , brother are all wealthy and don’t have the stress of financial freedom ? They say money doesn’t bring happiness but ,, you know what it will fix my entire life from opening businesses to taking a family vacation for once to giving back to the community and helping troubled youth. Shine some light in these dark times feel me .. I Just Released my latest Single “Blubber” Aug 13 . That day was important to me becuz its a year from when I almost died in that car accident out in Colorado. And the name “Blubber” i chose becuz I had gained so much weight recovering from my injuries for 8 months . I also got a EP , Dropping real soon any month now its a joint project with my boy AMG SS its called ” Womb 2 Da Tomb” then I did a feature verse which is one of my favorite songs with a incredibly talented young women Jynel Simone called “I Want It All ” featuring ToneOnDaBeat . I just been non stop working on music and trying to reach more listeners and get more exposer Each day but at the same time not allowing myself to get caught up in just scrolling and promoting on socials . Definitely more more and more music will keep on coming. So please stay tuned and thakyou to the Listeners i have and the people out here that do show love and Respect.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Consistency – Dont Stop keep pushing, keep creating, keep using your brain, if your not sure on how to , do some homework learn how ..read books on what yor trying to achieve, make goals for yourself .

Discipline – When others are distracting you .separate yourself , Dont go out partying or drinking when you have work to do or finish . Keep a schedule. Stay. Stick to that schedule .

Patience – its definitely not happening overnight , so dont get desperate , that’s were mistakes and screwups happen. Just know is coming as long as you put in the work .You Will Not Fail .

Ignore negativity or ppl trying to bash your goals or dreams. They dont have the same vision the fools are them .

Don’t trust nobody! Someone that has your back and wnat to see you win will show you better than they can tell you .
Think outside the box bring something different while remaining to just be you ..

I mentioned these becuz these are the ones i struggled with the most growing up .

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

Yes I would love to collab with anyone who takes it serious and wants to see both our parties win . .. I have a couple of collabs coming up that iam planning on locking in with god willing .. last couple people I had planned to work with had different agenda and intentions. Not sure why but moving forward I do , and would like to collab with different artist who share same vision same dream.
