Welcome to the frequency of O.T.I.S. Our music is a conglomerate of different styles ranging from Hip-Hop to House. One of our main objectives is to not have a target audience, but to make music everyone can enjoy. We pride ourselves in delivering clean, high energy music with a fun message.
By blending todays’s R&B and Dance music with classic Detroit dance elements, we have achieved a sound that is unique to our roots, yet expresses OUR creative vision. We are inspired by the diversity & beauty of Earths musical language & cultures and wish to add our flavor to a melting pot of sound.
Music is a power that can be harnessed and used in a multiple of ways…however still, the overall contrast is selfish and selfless. These point of views dictate the emotion of a being…or in Earth’s case, humans. We Are from a small group of planets that communicate and feel through sound and live by music. Our emotions are connected thru invisible strands of musical data.
Therefore, we connect easier and embrace love on a more widespread scale. By mixing love and Music, harmony is reached in our quadrant of planets which is called the Atunian Quadrant. We have traveled many light years to attempt to bring harmony back to your planet. Our ancestors brought music to your ancestors’ ancestors. THE INVASION IS INEVITABLE.
