Otto has never been in a better place. He has a happy home life and creatively he’s on fire. He’s writing, touring, producing other new artists and working on a new album. And he’s enjoying the enthusiastic reaction to “Somewhere Tonight” as he embarks on a new chapter in his career. He admits success is definitely sweeter this time around. “When things first take off and you’re finally having success, it’s easy to lose yourself a little bit at first,” he confesses. “A little bit of grounding was a good thing. It made me a more humble person and more grateful. I’m also a more driven person. Once I decided I really wanted to put my own music out again, I examined my life. I had built a strong foundation with my child. I made sure that my relationship with my wife was solid and my life was in a place I wanted it to be. There’s just something that calls me to be making music. It’s who I am. That’s hugely important. It gives me purpose. It gives me the desire to prove that I’m here for a reason.”
