Opto Music – Outdoor DJ
Joshua “Opto” Samuel is a Toronto-based artist, producer, and audio engineer whose musical journey began in the church, where he was immersed in worship and gospel music from an early age. After taking piano and guitar lessons, he developed instrumental skills but found himself more drawn to creating original melodies and writing his own songs than performing existing ones.
As his musical tastes evolved, Opto discovered hip-hop and quickly developed a deep passion for the genre. He initially launched his career as a recording artist before transitioning into music production and engineering, where he found considerable success. This shift allowed him to refine his ear for sound design, production, and mixing while collaborating with a wide range of artists across North America.
Opto’s work has earned recognition through placements on the iTunes charts, features on Flow 98.7 radio, and coverage across numerous hip-hop blogs and media platforms. With a catalog of more than 250 original beats and over 30 songs that he has written, recorded, and engineered himself, he consistently delivers professional, industry-standard sound while continuing to push his creative boundaries.
