Oscar, who is of Guatemalan descent, brought with him talent and love of music that spring from childhood of playing a variety of instruments since the age of 5. With inspiration from his heritage, Oscar put together a unique mix of heavy metal, clean guitar & mixed with a hint of Latin flavor. As the word “gifted” doesn’t quite embrace his passion, Oscar gives his music a sound and depth not often heard in Rock music, creating a truly signature sound. "...Just listened to your tunes. Very nice Stuff man!!" Dave Weiner - Solo Artist/Steve Vai Oscar feels his motivation and inspiration may be from his sub-conscience. What ever the inspiration may be, Oscar finds these qualities in everything from Art, Architecture, Life and other musicians. Ortega attributes most of his passion to his Father, a musician which has been playing for over 50 years and continues to learn and teach others.
