Otta

I grew up in Lewisham, London and I now live in Brixton. My mother is a professional singer, so my initial interest in music originated from her. I spent most of my youth listening to rock music, such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Audioslave, The Strokes and Nirvana. I started playing the guitar at the age of 10 and have developed my style and skills consistently getting my first professional gigs in my mid teens.

Currently, I play live shows with bands across the UK and I am looking forward to playing in the USA in March 2023. I write and record original music in professional recording studios and collaborate with a wide variety of singers and musicians.

I joined the professional band MOSES in 2020 as lead guitarist and backing vocalist. MOSES is a rock band with an indie rock style, but they also add different music styles to their songs, such as pop and punk. I have toured the UK with them and recorded guitar and backing vocals on their 2022 album. The band will release their latest album in 2023 in which I recorded all guitar, bass and backing vocals. This album was produced by Gavin Monaghan (Producer of The Editors) who commented on my strong improvisation skills and ability to create memorable ‘hooks’ to attract the listener's attention. I am looking forward to participating in more live shows and playing different forms of music on stage.
