Ouija Z Is Not Confined To Any One Genre

Ouija Z, originating from San Bernardino, California, draws from a rich tapestry of West Coast legends to shape his distinctive sound. Growing up with icons like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, E-40, MC Eiht, and Too Short playing in the background, he absorbed not only their laid-back vibes and hustling spirit but also their ability to tell vivid stories. His music pays homage to old-school influences while injecting a fresh, adaptive edge that he’s honed over time.

Music has always been part of Ouija Z’s life, but it took a ten-year period of incarceration to fully realize his potential. Behind bars, he delved into lyrical craft, learned the business side of music, and refined his voice through ciphers, programs, and sheer persistence. Upon release, help from family members like his Uncle Jerry allowed him to set up a home studio, while friends and associates supported him in officially launching his independent label, YGM da Covenant, as an LLC in 2024. Emerging from adversity, he now stands as an artist who’s both knowledgeable and hungry to share his story.

At the microphone, Ouija Z isn’t confined to a single genre. Whether blending hip-hop with elements of pop, rock, R&B, or gospel, he morphs to the beat that “chooses him.” His voice can fill a quiet room with energy, and his live shows reflect a willingness to entertain and engage. Audiences in places like Tallahassee have caught a glimpse of his stage presence, and an upcoming performance at DJ Mailman’s birthday bash in Jacksonville promises to be a new high point. Recognition from local DJs and appearances on platforms like Industries Most Wanted in Atlanta confirm that his momentum is building.

Financial challenges and a lack of mainstream backing have taught Ouija Z to be resourceful, turning small budgets into opportunities to stand out. He sees himself as an entertainer, willing to push boundaries, reinvent old ways, and challenge expectations. Inspired by an array of artists—Snoop, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, E-40, Tupac, Blink-182, Lauryn Hill, and many more—he mixes Southern drawl with West Coast flavor to create music that resonates on multiple levels.

In the next few months, Ouija Z plans to promote current projects and introduce a high-energy, sports-themed single called “Go Gators.” Instead of leaning into violence, he aims to channel the intensity of drill music into athletic rivalry, hoping to ignite college sports
