Otto

**Otto** (real name Otto Apsītis) is a Latvian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his introspective folk-pop sound and poetic lyricism rooted in Latvian culture. Blending acoustic textures with subtle electronic elements, his music often explores themes of nature, identity, and existential reflection, delivered in a warm, conversational vocal style. A low-key figure in Latvia’s indie scene, Otto has built a loyal following for his emotionally resonant live performances and quietly experimental approach to Baltic folk traditions.

Tracks like *Marmelāde* (“Jam”) and *Veltījums* (“Dedication”) showcase his knack for pairing whimsical, imagery-heavy storytelling with minimalist arrangements, while *Epopeja* (“Epic”) and *Vīzijas* (“Visions”) lean into darker, more atmospheric territory. Though details about his personal life remain scarce, his work—including recent releases like *Naktis* (“Nights”) and *Ēdienkarte* (“Menu”)—reflects a deep connection to Latvia’s landscapes and mythologies, reimagined through a modern, subtly psychedelic lens.
