David Massey

David Massey, founder & CEO of Owdareech Productions was inspired to

become a producer by his older brother. David would regularly sneak

into his brother’s room and play his records while studying the

producer and writer credits on the album covers and labels. Hailing

from Shelby, North Carolina David was a rapper in high school and in

1988 he moved to Georgia and stopped rapping and became a producer

from that point on.

Upon moving to Georgia in ’88 he met the legendary rap artist Shy D,

then he attended the iconic Jack The Rapper Convention in the early

1990’s and met several movers & shakers in the music industry.

David started producing on the most rudimentary equipment in the form

of his niece’s Casio keyboard that was missing 5 keys. Through the

years he has acquired the Roland DR 670, Ensoniq ASR X, Reason 3,

Akai MPC 200XL, the Akai MPC studio and the MPC Renaissance which he

now uses.

Some of David’s musical influences are the legendary Soul artists

such as Earth, Wind & Fire, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder and The

Detroit Spinners. Hip Hop icons such as D.J. Marley Marl, Mantronix,

Run–DMC, D.J. Premier and the RZA influenced him as well. A student

of all music genres he also enjoys Soft Rock artists like Duran
