Fernando Otero, Pianist and Composer: "Because I would play all day, and it was really anoying. Even though we had a seperate place for the piano, still. And also because I did it all day, especially when I was 10 years old. I remember exactly that age. It was the discovery of many musical genres and styles, and I thought this is a complete new universe that I can explore. So I would listen to albums all day and then tried to play what I heard."

"Fernando Otero is a GRAMMY®-winning Argentine composer, pianist and vocalist based in New York City. He has been described by many critics as a classically-trained virtuoso pianist and composer who developed his own style by blending elements of classical contemporary music and improvisation while acknowledging Tango as a starting point. He found his voice when he began to incorporate the indigenous sounds of his native Buenos Aires into his work. Otero's pianism displays song-like melodicism, expressiveness and a wide palette of colors. He possesses a particularly strong rhythmic intensity when performing up-tempo pieces, playing notes repeatedly with piston-like precision that contrast with sudden detours into day dreamy pastels."
