Anthony Obas has always seen the bigger picture. That bigger picture is communicated in his work successfully curating live events such as “This is Upstate,” where six artists from the upstate New York area, (three from the city of Syracuse and three from the city Utica) competed for bragging rights for their respective area. Obas’ series of rants, appropriately titled, “#Obasrants”, helped him to communicate his vision with the masses. From the development of local artists to not having hot water in his apartment, Obas has found a way to keep a smile on his face while ranting about what matters to him. Born and raised the youngest of three in Harlem, New York, Obas had an enchanting childhood. This all came together in his high school years as he attended Xavier High School where he was focused on getting the right mentality. Obas’ is currently moving his first publication, Shifting Your Music Into a Career Volume 1, around the states as he continues to keep the picture big as he continues to become a man of many traits and search for his passion within the music industry.
