Hi, I’m OTHTAMA, a sophomore studying German and Mechanical Engineering. I was introduced to piano in elementary school, and since then, I have played viola, flute, and guitar. I produce electronic music using organic and orchestral instruments. I take inspiration from ODESZA, Martin Garrix, and How to Train your Dragon. As an artist, I hope to inspire others to chase their dreams and make them feel like they're on top of the world.
