The Interview
L.I.: As I get to know you through your information and music, in
which you have provided all your fans upon the net, I see you are a
very multitalented man. You have dove into a little bit of
everything that the entertainment world has to offer. Not many
people are fortunate to do so. Give us some thoughts about that.
What sparked your career to be involved in so many aspects of this
business and not specifically geared toward one particular path or
the other?
J.O.: I call my great come back the “Elvis 68” comeback. The Elvis
comeback all started when I lost my job from Canada Customs after
arresting an individual on a drug bust. I was a policeman with a
club, pepper spray, and handcuffs that drove the police car and
performed breathalyzers and arrested criminals. My supervisor on
duty was not impressed with the use of force that I had used on a
drug bust and let me go.
I then started training for the FX Tough Man contest. While training
I swam from Windsor to Peach Island and back (Olympic swimmers say
that this swim is the most dangerous in North America because of the
undertow), Windsor parks and recreation reported that I had drowned
to the Windsor police. I took a hike on the island and US coast
guard sent out a ship and helicopter to search for my body. I was
swimming back to Windsor and told the head US coast guard officer in
charge that I was roller blading for two hours and wanted to cool
down with a swim before my jog. After getting out of the water I had
the local media, Windsor Police, two fire
Con’t on page 7
trucks, and a small crowd of “Ohster” groupies waiting for me. I was
told never to try that again!
I had then smoked a fireman physical with an amazing time of 7:59
minutes and a top 20 finish @ 35 years old with over 250 competitors
trying to get the two day a week fireman jobs.
I entered the Flint Michigan FX light heavy weight 160-184 pound
Toughman contest and had my nose broken in the quarterfinals after
soundly beating the Detroit finalist in my first fight.
The ring girl came into the dressing room and asked me to sit ring
side with her to watch the finals. I was cracking my nose back into
place very disappointed that the dream of winning the Toughman
contest was over. She said “You should model not fight,” and so I
took some pictures and emailed comp cards off to some modeling
agencies. Now I have two companies interested in signing me!
I have reapplied to fight in the Toughman contest to fight in a
steel cage danger zone tournament as a middle weight at 151 to 165
pound division.
I also sent a profile to the Mid West Wrestling Federation and have
interest from them.
Pro soccer returned to Windsor Detroit with an old high school team
mate of the “Ohster’s” in charge of the entire operations of the
team.
Back in high school I was MVP of the team that finished second in
scoring in the league with 10 out of 14 goals the entire team had
scored. An amazing soccer comeback that had me play in three
exhibition matches after my retiring from the game mid way through
the season due to a poor right ankle and a 17 year absence from the
game.
So after playing the bass and doing some lead vocals in a couple of
bands, “The Ohster” has gone solo with his electronica career and it
is doing well with over a 1000 downloads from my music sites.
I had Attic records interested in me and was accepted by
download.com, the largest provider of music for the independent
musician.
Not bad for this 37 year old former Elvis impersonator/jock kid that
thought he was the German Simon Le Bon in high school.
L.I.: Out of all the theater and acting roles you have partaken in,
which was your favorite and why?
J.O.: My favorite was a rock video for the University of Windsor
Drama department that I acted, directed, danced, and played the lead
roll of Macbeth to “Faith No More” playing in the back ground.
L.I.: What inspired you to go from acting to becoming a
singer/songwriter?
J.O.: After playing numerous sports in high school, “The Ohster”
decided to get a degree in communication studies from the University
of Windsor and get involved in projects involving art and drama.
I was a DJ at CJAM 91.5 radio station and had my own New Wave show.
I was thinking at the time to either try and become a much music
Video Jockey, a Pro Wrestler, or move to Los Angeles and get into
acting.
I actually applied for the green card lottery with hopes of moving
out to La La land.
L.I.: How hard was it to get your music completed and distributed to
the public?
J.O.: It all started off at CJAM 91.5 fm. They played my song with
my vocals sounding amazing. I mailed my debut CD, nothing wrong with
dreaming, to all the Canadian college radio stations throughout
Canada. I was then accepted to my surprise to have my music
distributed by download.com. I have had great praise from this debut
CD and will be working on my second piece very soon.
I am currently web modeling and was accepted by leasyourbody.com to
model tatoos. Karma Models and Stylus Models of Toronto are
interested in signing me to modeling contracts.
L.I.: What challenges did you face during your career?
J.O.: I am still trying to get a major label to carry me and would
love to see my music in movies, that is NOT PORN. television, and
theatre productions.
L.I.: What advice can you give to the other artists like yourself
out there to help them make their dreams a reality as well?
J.O.: I am the almighty Ohster. Strive to be like me and hope that
you meet the right people to promote yourself. I personally think
that it is more the right contacts and meeting rather than just pure
talent. Tranquility, individuality, know your inner self.
L.I.: Share with us some projects you have completed and/or are
working upon that the L.I. community can support you on.
J.O.: I have applied as a go-go dancer to several alternative clubs
in Michigan. I would love to have L.I. community come support my
dancers dream. I have actually danced in a cage before at a club
called Rumours in Detroit.
L.I.: As I probe the thoughts of “The Ohster,” what is it that you
wish to strive to do next?
J.O.: I am trying to still land a major record label and a modeling
contract by doing my best Krammer from Seinfeld, a guy that does not
seem real. I am interested in writing a script and acting and
directing in the production and distributing the movie throughout
the internet. I would love to get a part time job as a go-go dancer
in a new wave Goth club because I am an amazing dancer that is
double jointed.
