About Me

Otto Sharp began piano lessons in the second grade due to the "encouragement" of her mother. But after attending her daughter's first recital, which consisted of a ten minute improv jazz rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and a quick curtsey which appeared as if she was hind catching...the motherly "encouragement" ceased!
She never learned to curtsey, but instead rebelliously picked up the guitar and a synthesizer. And by the young age of fourteen, she began writing music of her own. Over the next four years, she wrote notebooks full of ideas and melodies, and during her first year of college she would find herself teaming up with Producer/Songwriter Dustin Burnett. The two would record ten songs of original pop hooks full of ear candy and indie rock. Otto sings relatable stories of love, hope, learning who you are, who you might be, and finding the "Truth of Lies."
