Born and based in Seattle, Washington, Oblé Reed is a 22 year old mixed-race pop rap artist who has found himself in a lane of his own. His raw emotion and passion draws people in to hear what he has to say, so that they leave with something more than a tune stuck in their head. This was the realization that he was making more than just noise, and that the same couldn’t be said about a lot of the artists around him. His ability to speak his mind, and portray his emotions, while keeping his language free of explicit material, has opened up a whole new lane for the up and coming artist. This passion and accessibility attracted many eyes to the young artist including music powerhouse, SoundCloud, as well as Pharrell Williams' multimedia creative collective, I_am_other, who teamed up in 2021 to create a collaborative album, which included Oblé’s “Loose Change”. He continues to release music with a message, drawing inspiration from the likes of J. Cole and Chance the Rapper, as well as newly established artists like femdot. and Dominick Fike. Oblé has shaped his sound to fit the young world changer he aspires to be and with the intentionality in which he lives, there’s no doubt that there will be a lasting impact of his art.
