Episode 71 - OZN (Ebn-Ozn, Dada Nada)

“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week, we’re doing an 80s deep dive with Ozn from Ebn-Ozn. They burst onto the scene at the dawn of MTV with their video for “AEIOU Sometimes Y” – a song the mixed the elements of everything that was happening at the time. New wave, rap, the new anything goes mentality of the early 80s. The song even made it’s way onto Rolling Stone’s recent list of the best songs of 1983! Ebn-Ozn disbanded in the mid-80s and Ozn went on to find success as Dada Nada with a string of house music hits in the 90s and into the 2000s. But, it was a recent return to his 80s roots that proved a recent pivotal moment for him.   Be sure to look out for my books, "Lived Through That" and "80s Redux" where ever you buy your books!
