Born and raised in the South Bay, Montage is a rising young artist you’d better get to know soon. Currently in the midst of recording his second album, The O Album, Montage has performed in clubs throughout the Bay Area as well as at the ESPN Summer X-Games, and has made an appearance on The World Famous Wake up Show with Sway and Tech. He’s also in the process of shooting a music video for the song “Get at Me.” There’s no question this rapper’s journey has taken flight. But how has he come this far? If you ask him, he will tell you straight up: “Persistence.”

Aren’t young indie bands great? No label, no album, no website. Just a group of musicians united together under a common vision and a catchy name. Doing their thing. Eating Ramen noodles. Selling sperm. Trying to sign, put out a record, and earn their own piece of the web. Ahh, the simplicity of it all. Oceans of Fire are a San Jose psych-rock group that may or may not practice the aforementioned methods of indie-rock survival, but that’s beside the point. Because above it all is the music, and when the music’s good, ain’t nothing else matter.
