Otis Fonde

Growing up a country boy in the 804, Otis Fonde always knew he was different. While his peers would spend countless hours watching TV and playing video games after school, Otis dedicated that time investing in developing his craft for making music. Inspired by his father (a former DJ) Otis spent endless nights making beats and writing rhymes honing his rarely disclosed talent.


After a couple years of living a double life, clocking in every morning as Mr. Johnson and at night performing Very Much Alive, his debut mixtape all over the DMV as Tre Live. Tre decided that a change of scenery was best for both his professional development and music aspirations. Forever on the road & a gambler at heart, Tre decided to try his luck in the city of sin. It was Vegas where ultimately Tre truly discovered and embraced the artist and the man that he was becoming. Confident and conformable in his own skin, Tre’s maturation spawned Otis Fonde.


An aspirational story teller at heart, and as the name would indicate an Old Soul mature beyond his years… Otis creates music with themes of success, the pursuit for personal growth & development, all while being an educated country boy from tha 804….
