about

The Truth...What is, The Truth? It seems as if that is the on going question that will forever circle the minds of humanity. Will we ever know the truth, and if so, when will that day come? Well O.C.A.D, Arie Dixon and Olivia Cipolla, two of today's "MUST LOOK OUT FOR" artists, seem to have what it takes to deliver just that. These 2 amazing artists have come together to collaborate on a body of work, that may be exactly what the music industry needs to hear.
Never has there been such a versatile and innovative collection of sounds and genres, mixed with a sense of rebellious content, but still captivating the minds and hearts of all generations. With songs like "You Had No Idea", touching on the social issues of discrimination, and "No Man's Land" talking about the state of the world, and how we as people NEED to change, Olivia and Arie are clearly not scared of being vulnerable as well as speaking their minds. Saying that these two individuals are on a clear path to change the game is an understatement, but giving "The Truth" a listen will open up your ears to exactly what you need to hear.
