Ossien (Mark Mossien) joins Beyond the Bass for a deep conversation on childhood, self-worth, music, and learning to create his own reality. He reflects on growing up in a tense household, finding safety at the piano, and turning pain into the musical foundation that shaped him. From discovering EDM at Georgia Tech to blending jazz, saxophone, and dubstep, Ossien traces the path that led him from software engineering toward music, mentorship, and entrepreneurship. He also opens up about losing alignment in his job, betting on himself, and the gratitude-based mindset that now guides the way he builds his life.
