Young Onassis

Onassis got his start early, performing Michael Jackson hits for his family, writing songs with his brother, and freestyle battling.

Influenced by artists like Jay Z, Mobb Deep, Chamillionaire, and even the ethereal sound of Enya, his creative, honest music reflects the hustler grind spirit of his adolescence. Growing up poor in inner-city Phoenix as the son of Nigerian immigrants, his peers were trying to find their way out through sports, academics, or drugs. But despite social and family pressure, he knew that music was his way up—since the days of doing MJ as a kid, it was his destiny.

Now based in Los Angeles, Onassis is making a name for himself as a rising artist, songwriter and producer. Working with artists and companies like Atlantic Records, APG, Shoedazzle, Juicy J, G Perico and more. He most recently produced ‘Gunshots’ on 600 Breezys upcoming relese Iceman Edition 2 on Asylum Records. Watch for his new mixtape, Lethal Weapon Vol. 1, this summer.
