Oticia “Houston Peaches” Redman
Houston R&B Vocalist | Independent Recording Artist | Houston Music Legacy
Oticia “Houston Peaches” Redman was a Houston R&B vocalist and independent recording artist whose career was connected to Houston’s independent music community for many years. Known professionally as Houston Peaches, she developed a soulful R&B sound while building relationships within the city’s hip-hop and R&B scene.
In her 2014 interview with Dammit Boy Productions, Oticia recalled working with Z-Ro and Guerilla Maab beginning in 1996. She also explained that the name “Peaches” came from Guerilla Maab, connecting one of the most recognizable parts of her artistic identity directly to that period of her career.
Her history places her within the musical circle surrounding an important era of Houston independent hip-hop while maintaining her own identity as an R&B vocalist.
Oticia continued her career as an independent artist. During her DBP interview, she discussed having music available digitally and spoke about several recordings, including “Can’t See Me” featuring Z-Ro and the R&B ballad “The Last Time.”
Her work blended R&B with the independent Houston music culture surrounding her, giving her a distinctive place within a scene more commonly documented through its rappers and hip-hop groups.
On April 11, 2014, Dammit Boy Productions filmed an interview with Oticia at TOC Bar in Houston, Texas. During the conversation, she discussed her career, her history with Z-Ro and Guerilla Maab, her independent music and the origins of the Houston Peaches name.
The interview now serves as an important piece of the DBP archive because it allows Oticia to tell part of her musical history in her own words.
Oticia “Houston Peaches” Redman remains part of Houston’s independent R&B and hip-hop history. Her recordings, relationships within the Houston music community and surviving archival footage document a career extending back to the 1990s.
Dammit Boy Productions preserves her DBTV appearance as part of that history and in memory of Houston Peaches.
