Osceola Dubois – Wharf Contemplation

Before his first disc in 2006, OD wrote:

Born In Jersey at the end of the seventies, the youngest of three brothers, I was birthed by a mother, (Jaqueline) and father (Osceola Sr) who always encouraged us, rather challenged us to think for our selves. Though they were very strict it helped to shape me into an young man who does just that before speaking. (a trait valued little nowdays) In the mid to late nineties I was a part of an underground hip hop group called Savage Kids Organization. More an incredibly talented, but hyper dysfunctional family. We’ve since been scattered across the West Coast reaching as far as Atlanta. Having done my own thing in several other cities always with groups I realized that it’s hard trying to get different people with different goals, levels of motivations and at times agendas to capitalize on their dreams. I also realized around that same time that I was living my dream to be able to make my own music. Fast forwrd to 2002 through a barage of blood, and sweat and I made some life changing decisions found my faith and started to grow over the next several years as a man but most improtantly as an artist. Now back in San Diego (my home for over 16 years) armed an ready to unload this passion that is my life on your eardrumz and souls, i’m preparing for the manifestation of a destiny furfilling itself as each day passes. So if you happen to hear that name somewhere while your out in the wind realize that there is something coming an ASK ABOUT ME!!!!!

Today, Osceola continues to create honest, soulful, and gritty lyrics of life struggle and triumphs making him one of Southern Californias hidden and underappreciated gems, hands down.

After completing his service in the military, Osceola now focuses his sights in furthering his musical foundation in art and music school, and branding his label, Mindsoule Music, while simultaneously raising his son and making records.

Ive been a fan of his as far back during my high school days in Rancho Bernardo, his music continues to resonate in soulful style and message for the people. In interview, Osceola describes Black Diamond to be strongest work to date crafting his lyrics straight from the heart. – Warren O. Wilson.
