Available to hire
Hi, I’m Othniel “Otty” Lewis, a dynamic and versatile musician, musical director, composer, arranger, and producer based in Enfield, London. Since starting my professional career at 14, I’ve explored Gospel, Reggae, Dancehall, Pop, Rock, and Jazz, collaborating with Jamaica’s iconic artists and continually pushing boundaries across global music scenes. I’m a graduate of the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts and I’m a firm believer in lifelong learning and musical excellence.
I’ve built a career across touring and studio work, taught music theory and keyboard to adult learners, and led music and technology for worship settings. My goal is to create engaging, expressive music while mentoring other artists and exploring innovative approaches to production and arrangement.
