| LINK'S |
Every once in a while we stumble upon something special, So special that from the second we here one line of one song
we are consumed and want more. Not often does this happen but when it does it is one of the most magical feeling's in
music today. A feeding frenzy of the mind and listening pallet kick's into action like a craving for chocolate it no longer is
a want to listen to music it is a need. I know this for a fact because it recently engaged me when I heard a song from a
great acoustic artist and song writer named Otan Vargas. Like every musician Otan has a story that would intrigue the
deepest skeptics and if you listen closely to his lyrics you may pick up that story as words flow through his mind they are
scratched onto paper through these thought's come his powerful and meaningful lyrics that could have special meaning
to each and everyone of us.

Otan Vargas is a Filipino who moved to the United States in 2006. Born on October 4, 1984 to Romeo Vargas, a folk
singer himself and to Venus Vargas, a businesswoman.
He is proud to say that he was born and raised in Tondo, known to be the poorest place in Manila.
His honest music captivated fans from all over the world via the internet, giving testimonials of how its melancholy
touched them beautifully. His songs were inspired by his very own experiences, moods, and emotions. They are sung
diaries, so to speak.
Alone with his acoustic guitar and his indescribable dismal voice, Otan Vargas’ words and melody enigmatically brings
sanguinity despite of its evoking sadness that only a few can hold.
