One heart, one mind, one mouth, one mic -

Otha Major is a beatboxer who doesn't spit.

Every now and then an artist comes along who stands out.  Whether labeled as hip-hop, world, or experimental music is of really no importance because his style simply has to be experienced. 

Native to West Seattle's Delridge neighborhood, Otha has been working on his unique brand of vocal percussion since the ripe age of four.  The outcome of the past twenty years is best reflected in the electric charge of Otha Major's live performances. 

Those who have witnessed Otha perform in Seattle venues such as the EMP, Seattle Art Museum, the Seattle Aquarium and events like Hempfest, Bumpershoot, and Folklife will vouch that his performance is something to be experienced to be believed.

Otha's sounds, however intensely rhythmic, extend beyond instrumental imitation to cover the multitude of emotions one experiences in a lifetime including joy, ecstasy, sadness, and humor.  Much of the energy of Otha's live performances is captured on his solo album, called Otha's 74 minutes.

"Otha Major ('s) mouth doubles as drum set, all-in-one lead vocal, conga drums, snares, bass and brush."
