Born in Chicago and raised in Atlanta, Venny O. has always had a love for music. With inspirations from artists such as Tommy Wright III, Playa Fly, Eight Ball & MJG, and Outkast, the talented artist emerged into the industry as a teenager in high hopes of creating his own music to display to the world. He describes it as ‘universal’; something everyone can relate to. With production from Arnaz “The Nasty One” Smith, Venny O. is on the road to achieving his goal. Venny O’s versatility assists in his appeal to all audiences. His countless life experiences motivate him to cover all aspects of life and a spectrum of topics. “I want my albums to be like great movies,” said the music extraordinaire. “They will take you through every emotion.” Although he explores all aspects of life, he expresses his views in expectation of affecting people in positive ways. With his “laid back” style and multifaceted personality, Venny O. supersedes the negative stereotype of rap artists. The music industrialist vows to put himself in positions necessary to help others with the same tools and aspirations as he has. Also inspired by music entrepreneurs such as Master P, P. Diddy, and Jermaine Dupri, Venny started his own enterprise. Using internet marketing as the main vehicle, Venny is seeing consistent results on a monthly basis. His website averages over 2000 hits a month; with over 32,000 friends, his myspace has allowed him to spread his music all over the world; and if you check the youtube videos, the fans absolutely went crazy for his first single, “Cheeks On My White Tee”. With over 150 videos, the fans have brought this song to life in many different ways. These various methods have undoubtedly been the driving force behind the digital success of his first release, “Uncharted Territory-My Story”. Choosing to only put 4 songs on the EP, Venny soon found out that “if you sell it…they will buy!” With “Cheeks On My White Tee” leading the way, Venny has definitely enjoyed having the sales role in on a monthly basis. “Consistency is the key” remarks Venny. “I’ve realized that if I stay consistent with my promotion, I will stay consistent with my sales. Now the goal is expansion. I wanna take what I’m already doing, and just add to it.” Selling 40,000 units hand to hand while in a group, Venny learned early on that ‘independent’ was a good word. “There’s nothing wrong with signing, but be able to negotiate from a position of strength. Invest in yourself and know your worth, so when the opportunity presents itself, you can be prepared for it.” With guidance from God, self-motivation, and support from family, friends and fans, Venny O. possesses all of the ingredients for a legendary success.
