Oliver "OG" Grose III (born August 22, 1989) is an American record producer.
OG was raised in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was introduced to music as a toddler by his mother, primarily in church. His mother, Quincy Tejeda, is most noted for her professional singing career with the Nashville Super Choir Cast [1] and the Bobby Jones Gospel Show.

OG attended Nashville School of the Arts, a fine arts magnet school in Nashville, where he sharpened his skills and became a better musician. Upon completion of high school, OG decided to pursue producing as a full-time career being inspired by predecessors such as Timbaland, Jerome Harmon Danja, Drumma Boy, Neptunes, Teddy Riley, and Ryan Leslie. He taught himself to play piano and began specializing in producing pop, R&B, hip hop, and gospel.
