OttO

About Me

OttO is born on March 28th 1981. Since he was the last comer of a 5 children familly, he's been nursed all his childhood long with the music played loud at home by his older siblings...From Boney M to AC/DC, from UB40 to New Order and Propaganda, he had the chance to meet a wide variety of influences, which are doubtless shaping his appreciation of music and his creative impulses at now. As a teenager, OttO was torn by the Brit-Pop war opposing Blur and Oasis, but he was also keeping an ear for the growing electronic buzz...

The DJ vocation was uncontestably prompted by the electronic world phenomenon carried out by the "French Touch": Daft Punk, Etienne de Crécy, Cassius etc...

In 2000, OttO started to cooperate with a small parisian event agency, Defi as resident DJ and Music Manager. It then turned out that Defi became an important student event platform in Paris between 2001 and 2005 which gives OttO the chance to play for huge floors in prestigious places like l'Elysée Montmartre, le Bataclan, la Salle Wagram, Planet Hollywood, la Loco, le Wagg...

From 2003, together with his best mate Tack, he started to gather musicians and develop original live performances using mainly electric guitar...Cause rock still rocks even!

In 2005, OttO moved to Tunisia, where he stayed one year as a resident DJ of "Le Boeuf sur le Toit" (run by the famous Jacky - former funder and manager of La Baraka), one of the night hot-spot of Tunis. He met there oriental inluences and surprisingly a demanding audience for electronic music.

Since 2007, OttO is living in Warsaw where he plays independantly and works on forthcoming productions that should appear as a synthesis of all his previous experiences.

Occasionally, OttO still appears in Paris to support the growing music agency Spear Hit or to have fun with his mates from Club 62 !
