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.

Hey bro. How are all the shows going? I hear you are doing awesome. I read your interview. Some deep stuff there, man. I have a friend who is Filipino and he tells me about back home all the time. I'm glad someone can take all that and put it into music. That's talent man. Since you can't make it down my way, maybe I'll be able to come see you up there on vacation or something.
Hey man.. I finally saw your paypal download link and i bought some of your music.. I forget sometimes that all of us have to make a living when i am asking for your music. I just get so excited about your music.. Especially your new tracks.. I really wish everything had worked out as far as getting you here to play, but such is life...
Also, I gotta tell you that your style seems to be evolving as well as your voice. The more music you make, the more of your soul seems to pour out for us. Keep up the great music!!
Hi otan... just wanted to stop by and say hi and to let you know that your music has been getting very positive feedback on my scrub radio show and that everyone LOVES it. I've been playing Insanity towards the end of the show to kinda 'outro' it... it's working quite well. Everyone is wanting to hear more songs.. but I only have the ones that you sent to me originally. I'm in Love with the new ones u have on the page now. I'm hoping to figure out how to do interviews on air soon...I'd definately love to have you as a guest sometime, even if i have to pre record it somehow.... I'll figure it all out eventually... lol
