Born Eric Lamont Thompson, Optomistic is the self-proclaimed front man of Official Shidtz Records. Having honed in on engineering expertise,Opto
exemplifies the characterisitics of a world class artist/producer.The Leesberg, Florida native is involved in every aspect of O.S.R.; everything from writing songs to managing the recording studio. Opto's display of a discerning ear and a creative flow has prompted the request of his services from several artists in his current city, Rochester, New York.In an effort to find a marketable niche, Optomistic has recorded songs with a host of artists. Whether it be a hardcore flow, or something for the ladies (especially for the ladies), his whimsical style is anything short of pure genuis. Staying abreast of the ever-chaning music world is necessary in sustaining a successful career; a philosphy that Opto definitely lives by. His protege, Y.P.C. (Young Paper Chaser), has collaborated with him on a number of tracks, along with R&B sensation, T-Roy, whom has credits with Def Jam. Although the O.S.R. label has recorded a number of demos over industry beats, Opto is now employing the services of talrnted in-house beat producers, A-Ron and Luv on Beats. Street Justice, Paysos, Teressa, Black 'n' Wild, Esco and Dre Dae Ent are a number of unsigned artists whom Opto has also done songs with.Above all, Opto is a devout father and a true leader. By recording most of his songs at home in a professinally outfitted studio, his duties as a family man surpass all else. Haled as the "Flyest Brotha I Know", Opto has all the characteristics of a star while maintaining his place as a respectable figurehead. Juggling a career and a family is a feat for anyone, but Opto has managed to do both, recording several dozen hits in the process. Continuously at work in the booth, you can be sure to hear more about this future chart climber.
