He released his first record in 2007 and has released one record per year since. Kurupt, former vice president of Death Row Records says “Optimiztiq is a sleeper”.
He graduated with honors from Pinnacle Collage for sound engineering and audio mastering in 2010 and founded his independent record label “Chakra Sound” in 2013. He has shared the stage with many well established headliners such as Tech N9ne, Snoop Dogg and Too $hort to name a few. After opening for Snoop Dogg, Sacramento Press said “Y’all keep an eye out for this one right here. He’s a white MC from the country kickin’ butt”. After gaining a buzz off of his 2013 release “Mouthin’ Off”, an album made with only his mouth. He just released his 6th album “Flashback”. A themed record which uses samples of music from different eras as the foundation of every track and is raising eyebrows in the underground music scene.
