Story
The origin story.
OHTHREESIX makes rap and R&B for the last hour of the night: smooth vocals, honest storytelling, and Texas in every bar.
He was raised in Crowley, a town of about 3,000 people outside Fort Worth, and sang in choir his whole life before he ever touched a mic. The rapping started in high-school practice rooms, freestyling with classmates between rehearsals. Watching Lil Yachty get signed to Quality Control convinced him that fun, positive music could go somewhere, and he started taking his own seriously.
The stage came early. In 2018 he opened for Joyner Lucas, and in 2019 he opened for Maxo Kream. By then he was already breaking through as YOUNG036. Beginning with “Sorority!” in 2018 and the album Greek Week in 2020, his Greek-life anthems spread from campus to campus. “6 Zetas in This Benz” became a rush-week staple, and chapters from Alabama to SUNY New Paltz got songs of their own. The records took him on tour across the United States, performing the viral hits for the crowds that made them, and between 2021 and 2022 he performed with Loud Luxury at Rounders at the University of Alabama.
The run reached far beyond campus. He appeared in Bama Rush, the 2023 Max documentary about sorority recruitment at the University of Alabama. In 2024 Fox News covered his song “Great Day To Be A ZTA” in its story on the rush-season trends taking over TikTok.
Away from the stage he worked for the Kansas City Chiefs, an experience that still shows up in the music, from the single “Hotel Kansas City” to the way a business day and a studio night sit side by side in his writing.
In 2020 he moved to San Marcos to attend Texas State, and in late 2022 he relaunched as OHTHREESIX with “God Bless Texas (State).” The new name came with a new sound, slower and after-hours, closer to the slow-burn R&B of Brent Faiyaz, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Pimmie and the late-night melodies of Drake and Future than to the campus records that came before. Three albums followed in three years, Texas Exes (2024), Director (2025) and THIS FEELS LIKE HOME (2026), with collaborators including Tony In The Lab, AJ Snow, All Hail Y.T. and MsGold.
Alongside those five he cites Larry June, Jace and Thouxanbanfauni. Across both names his catalog has passed 2 million plays, all of it released independently through his own label, OHTHREESIXMEDIA®.
