Billy Otto is a Malaysian Australian  singer-songwriter, record producer, model, mental health advocate, surfer, and environmental activist based in Byron Bay and Berlin. He has a unique and energizing surfer look, flamboyant style, and big personality. With his confessional lyrics, sun-drenched vocals, and earnest desire to inspire his audiences, he has crafted an exquisite, ethereal sound over the past seven years.

Billy nearly sold out his last Australian headline tour in 2021, and his coastal sonic lands somewhere between Harry Styles, Joji, Radiohead, and Tame Impala. He has journeyed the globe writing, performing, and speaking across over 50 countries, feeling that creating music and community is his pen-ultimate mode of joy and nourishment. He carries the live energy reminiscent of Hutchence, Iggy Pop, and Bowie.

As a producer, Billy has helped to accumulate close to 20 million streams across projects he has produced and co-written. Otto is set to release his much anticipated sophomore album “Fractal Woman” in July this year. He will be basing his time from Berlin and Kuala Lumpur for the next year, collaborating, touring and  creating with his stellar global team.

Billy's eclectic infusion of dream pop, psychedelic, and rock have been known to bring his audiences into a trance and to facilitate an even deeper sense of unity and connectedness. He is no stranger to indie music blogs and streaming platforms, having hit 100K monthly listeners in 2021.

Billy has been privileged to rub shoulders in the studio and co-write tracks with members from iconic Australian bands such as The Temper Trap, Gang of Youths, Alex Lahey, Sticky Fingers, and Coterie.

Billy's heart for the environment is strong, and his  music and activist voice have been used for environmental campaigns in collaboration with the Surfrider Foundation. Recently his song “Can’t Take The Ocean Out Of Me” was harnessed for a monumental nationwide paddle-out campaign to protect the South Australian coastline from irresponsible oil drilling. The song was picked up by Patagonia for their latest activist documentary and played live to over 10,000 people in one year.

Headlined The Byron Bay Youth Festival and Ocean Lovers Festival, Billy is excited about taking his cosmic sound to festival stages around the globe. His thrilling live show lands him support shows for the likes of Yumi Zouma and Kyle Lionhart.

With his unique musical style, engaging live performances, and passion for activism, Billy Otto is a rising star on the music scene. He is a force to be reckoned with, and his future is looking bright.
