A snip from Otan’s biography, 
“In 2006, Vargas travelled to the United States for the first time and would soon settle in with family members in New York.  With no serious intentions of becoming a musician at the time, he recorded some videos of himself playing guitar and singing at a friend’s house and uploaded them to YouTube for fun.   By a strange twist of fate, the videos gained some popularity on YouTube and eventually ended up being viewed by Aaron Lewis – vocalist of the rock band Staind.

Otan’s big break came in 2009 when Aaron Lewis unexpectedly invited him on stage to play a song at the Borgata Hotel and Casinos in Atlantic City, NJ.  His somewhat nervous, yet captivating rendition of Staind’s hit song “It’s Been Awhile” elicited a standing ovation from the crowd.  The video of that performance also spread quickly on YouTube. Shortly after, Otan would release his full-length debut album “Alone” in which he sings about enduring suffering, battling the voices within and trying to find a constant peace for his soul.  

The album was recorded mainly in one live take with an acoustic guitar and a single vocal microphone, a rarity in this digital age of multitrack recording.  Otan describes his genre of music as “Organic Rock”.  The songs are focused more on the emotional content and lyrical meaning than the skill or technique involved.  He says, “when I write, I always follow where the song wants to go rather than following a certain structure or formula.”

In 2010, Vargas would perform his original songs for the first time in front of a huge audience of 5,000+ at the Jones Beach Bandshell in New York.  And in 2011, he shared the stage with Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stone Sour, Aaron Lewis of Staind, Lo Pro and Tesla for the “It Takes a Community Charity Concert” at the Pines Theater in Northampton, MA.”
