Biography
Oatmello, known by his real name Edwin Cosmos Corbin, is a lo-fi beats producer originally from Eugene, Oregon, but currently residing in Portland, Oregon. His musical style is characterized by its laid-back and relaxed atmosphere, mirroring the lowkey demeanor and climate of the Pacific Northwest.
As a child, Oatmello developed a fondness for music with the small Fisher-Price portable record player gifted to him by his parents. Growing up in the '90s, he became a fan of hip-hop, listening to iconic artists like Wu-Tang Clan and g-funk.

Despite being classically trained in piano, he secretly disliked practicing and felt the need to find his own creative niche in music. The discovery of beat making during his teenage years marked a turning point in his musical journey. The realization that he could create his own music and not just recite others' works perfectly filled him with excitement and passion for beat making.
