OD Obviously Different drops ‘Holy 45’ project

Reggae artiste OD Obviously Different is getting kudos for his work as executive producer of the 'Holy45' project.

He leads out the project with the single Fyah, with contributions from other artistes, including reggae star Anthony B with Chap Don.

"The feedback on the Holy45 project is immense, and loved everywhere it's played. Another song that I have that is doing well is Real Bless, which is selling well, especially in Europe," said the artiste, whose given name is Orvin Duncan. The Holy45 rhythm project was released on July 4. He said that it is inspired by Psalms 45 verses 1-5 and a dream.

"The gun represents the vessel and the Bible [represents the] words, and this weapon must be used wisely. As an artiste, singer or player of instrument, we have a duty, a purpose to serve, to teach, and not to mislead," he said.

OD Obviously Different grew up in west Kingston before moving to Greater Portmore, where he attended Greater Portmore High School. He fell in love with music at an early age and began honing his talent. His first official release was Real Bless, which was done on his own label, SD Records, in 2021.

"The inspiration for the song came out of my struggles and the things I had to overcome to make it to where I am, after being in two car accidents and almost dying, and being paralysed by my injuries and personal trauma in Jamaica. I am really blessed with my career, few loyal family [members], and I am great," he said.

Real Bless will feature prominently on his debut EP, which he hopes to release in 2023.

"I have several songs mixed, and songs that are going to be added. The hardest task will be picking which ones will make it to the final product, but the EP will be a great mixture of dancehall and reggae songs," he said.
