Launched in 2009, as a rock-based acoustic brother duo, Ottopilot has grown over the years to become a well-known local band for not only their original creativity but also their versatile style. They have shared the stage with impressive acts such as Mat Kearney, Gavin Degraw, Michelle Branch,Sugar Ray, Huey Lewis and the news, Earth Wind and Fire, and the list goes on.
In 2010, the brothers released a hit single "Streetlight". With the help of live shows, radio airplay, and word of mouth, the ripple effect began to take place. They were quoted that year by John Phillip Willie (writer/editor for San Diego Troubadour) "Of all the new artist leads that I have ever been given, Ottopilot by far exudes the most talent.”In 2014 they successfully raised over $18,000 from Kickstarter to record a 7 song EP at Signature Sound studios. Soon after they released “Falling Forward”. The EP is now available for download on iTunes and Amazon Music and is getting 5 star ratings and reviews.
What was a 2 piece acoustic duo in 2014 is now a well-oiled dynamic rock band with new original songs written each season. In Early 2016 the band signed with Pacific Records and their new single "Count on me" is getting some great buzz around town. Stay tuned for a full length album.
