OTNES
Originally from the small city of Champaign-Urbana, IL, OTNES (they/she) fell in love with music at an early age. After growing up learning flute, piano and voice, OTNES got their degree in creative writing at UIUC and moved to Chicago where they became a staple in the music scene under the name Emily Blue. There, they frequented venues like Lincoln Hall, The Metro, Schuba’s, & more.
Following lengthy self exploration, OTNES transitioned into the unknown, changing their moniker and becoming the producer they’d always wanted to be. With a five-piece band of stellar Nashville musicians under their wing, OTNES combines vintage electronic pop textures with live instruments and passionate vocals to create a uniquely dynamic sound.
OTNES is also a passionate director of music videos, both for themselves and others. Their visual world comes to life in the debut single ‘SPIN,’ co-directed by Mossflower Pictures, and combines OTNES’s love of color with surreal retro aesthetics.
