About Thomas O'Shea and OK Hit Record Productions LLC

Thomas O'Shea—a record producer, songwriter, audio engineer, and artist hailing from Madison, Wisconsin—is a dynamic creative force driven by a lifelong passion for musical storytelling. Born Yoon Young Hoon and adopted from South Korea by an Irish American family, his musical spark ignited as a child watching the church pianist on Sundays. This led to piano lessons at age six, singing at age seven, crafting his first beat at 13, and penning his initial song under the alias TY'O at 14—a passion that has never waned.

Holding a degree in Audio Production and Music Business, plus a certificate in Music Composition from the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, Thomas built his skills through diverse ventures. While in school, he produced for artists nationwide, co-founded and produced for his band Let Them Eat Cake, experimented with music using found sounds from plastic bottles and TikTok memes, and collaborated with Billboard-charting and Grammy-nominated producers. He studied solo piano and chamber music with Dr. Eli Kalman, music composition with Dr. Ed Martin and Dr. John Mayrose, and audio production with Nathan Edwards.

After graduating and shedding his stage name, Thomas opened his company, OK Hit Record Productions LLC, to deliver music production and audio engineering for artists at any level. With a background in live production and performing, Thomas's techniques blend the raw energy required for the stage with meticulous studio precision, ensuring every track sounds vibrant, polished, and authentic. As a live engineer, he has worked with Grammy-winning performers, internationally recognized bands, and primetime television talent—including Samara Joy (6-time Grammy winner), Brett Newski (internationally touring artist), Cash Box Kings (Blues Hall of Famers), Partyof2 (formerly grouptherapy), and touring acts featured on America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and RuPaul’s Drag Race. To date, Thomas's productions, remixes, and releases have accumulated over 500,000 streams across platforms, garnering acclaim from international blogs, magazines, radio stations, and curators worldwide. Press highlights include features by Cage Riot Music, Earmilk, Illustrate Magazine, ProducerCulture, and Reyt Good Magazine.

Thomas from his Senior Recital at UW Oshkosh

OK Hit Record Productions LLC

I originally founded OK Hit Record Productions LLC as a home for my solo releases, but I quickly realized my goals extended far beyond my own artistry. Music, at its core, is built on community, human connection, and collaboration. I discovered that I loved the process of building a track for another artist just as much as writing for myself. I wanted to take everything I learned from years of writing, practice, engineering, and performance, and put it to work for other creators seeking professional, accessible production.

For me, music is far more than a job or a passion—it is central to who I am. Whether I’m producing a full-scale record or turning found sounds into sampled rhythm tracks, I am constantly listening, creating, and finding new inspiration. With OK Hit Record Productions LLC, my mission is to build community, educate, elevate independent talent, and prove the lasting impact of great music—all while creating unforgettable hits.
