Watching his pastor father “plant churches” throughout his childhood, worship was the catalyst to Obed’s deep love of music. In his early twenties, he fell into making music through a Craigslist ad. A gig playing guitar in the band for a Christian summer camp led to producing locally in his hometown of Oceanside, garnering viral attention for his captivating storytelling in his songs “Brown & Down Freestyle” and “Chicano Poetry.” Since then, Obed has surpassed 5 million Spotify streams and earned over 1 million likes on TikTok. In 2024, Obed was featured in BMI’s Latin Spotlight and made his debut performance at Austin City Limits. In 2025, Obed performed at SXSW, Dreamville Festival, Bayfest, and more. Obed released his debut EP Do You Still Love Me? in October 2025, marking a new chapter in his sound and storytelling, with more releases planned for 2026. Now residing between Oceanside and Los Angeles, he continues to bridge his new life with his deep roots at home, cementing himself as an innovator in the Latin Alternative space.
