Sun City Music Festival Artist Profile: Ookay
It’s astounding to think that Sun City Music Festival talent Ookay has been producing for less then a year in this incredibly fast-paced, competitive and growing music industry. Within only six months creating music in the burgeoning trap genre, Ookay has created an imprint of a growing sound in clubs and major festivals.
Ookay’s love for eclectic music came at an early age. “I come from jazz and gospel music, I grew up as a little church boy. My dad was a bass player in the church band, and my mom sang in the choir, so I was always around that type of stuff. My dad gave me a lot of insight into that area. When I was younger I listened to a lot of death metal and neo-soul music. I’ve done pretty much every kind of music, that’s why my music is so out there. How I landed into the trap scene is beyond me.”
The masked trap-crusader Ookay scored his first ever Beatport release on Ultra Records as a remix of Congorock and Sean Paul’s “Bless Di Nation.” The remix charted very well on the electronica chart peaking at #10. Already being associated with acts with other Sun City talents like Borgore and Flosstradamus, Ookay was listed as one of Vibe Magazine‘s top Trap/Moombahton artist to watch in 2013. With thousands of people supporting Ookay, there’s no limit to where he may go.
So what can you expect when Ookay takes the stage? “Word around town is that there aren’t a lot of trap DJs using straight CDjs so people are surprised that that’s all I use. I think it helps me connect with the crowd more and put on a show. I get rowdy on stage.” Let’s get rowdy as Ookay takes the Bass Dunes stage at Sun City Music Festival, going down on August 31st and September 1st. Tickets are available online, buy your tickets today!
