Outasight
Richard Andrew, better known by his stage name Outasight turned to music to offer him solace and a sense of home. He found his passion in singing and rap, and began writing rhymes and singing around the age of 10.
After his first EP release Employee of the Year, Outasight released his second promotional CD, titled Radio New York. This release saw more commercial success, and was featured in XXL Magazine’s Soundcheck choice in “Something to Talk About.” His music video for the song “Good Evening (Dream Big)” received a video rotation spot on mtvU in the Fall of 2008, after winning the 2008 mtvU Freshmen video contest. “Good Evening” was also popularized by its use in Ray William Johnson’s Youtube-based vlog series: Breaking NYC.
In October 2009, Outasight signed with Warner Bros. Records. In December 2009, Lifted Research Group, better known as LRG, sponsored the release of Outasight’s Further mixtape. His biggest release to date, Further has generated even more press than the previous two albums. On March 23, 2010, Outasight released the Further EP on Asylum Records, and plans to release his first full length studio album, sometime in 2012. Also in 2010, Outasight collaborated with rapper Asher Roth on the “Catch Me If You Can” remix.
Outasight released his first official single, “Tonight Is the Night”, which was featured on a Pepsi commercial. The commercial includes footage of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Ray Charles, and Kanye West.
