About Me
Lucky Otis, the "Grandson of Rhythm & Blues", is a true L. A. native... hailing from a musical family, he was born & raised in the heart of the black community. Having been heavily exposed to African-American roots & culture much like his father, star child prodigy / guitar super-hero Shuggie Otis ("Strawberry Letter 23"), and his grandfather, legendary R & B pioneer / Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Johnny Otis ("Willie & the Hand Jive"), Lucky realized his passion for music & began his studies at an early age. In addition to singing & playing a vast multitude of various instruments, he has also remained highly active in the composing, arranging, & recording of his own original material since the start of his already lengthy career. And every time he hits the stage, Lucky will let you know firsthand: "The life I live has its ups & downs... the music I write is its direct reflection..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucky Otis haz collaborated with: Johnny Otis, Shuggie Otis, Jon Otis, Nick Otis, Eric Otis [Devius AKA The Wolf], Charles Brown [RIP], Lowell Fulson [RIP], Little Milton [RIP], Richard Berry [RIP], Etta James, Sugar Pie DeSanto, Barbara Morrison, Rosie and the Originals, The Clara Ward Singers, The Campbell Brothers, The Bramhalls, Bernard Purdie, Don Carlos, Ross Valory, Gregg Errico, Jerry Martini, Cynthia Robinson, Morganne, Stozo The Clown, Mos Def, Bambino Brown, Himalayaz, DK All Day, Zig ESP, The Mighty Paris, One Drop Scott, 80Grand The Orchestrator, Tony Mayfield (Curtis' son), George Clinton, & countless otherz (the list is 4ever growing steadily as we speak!!!)...
