Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Otmaro started his musical studies at the age of eight years old at the "Juan Manuel Olivares" Conservatory, where he covered academic classes (theory, harmony, ear training, history & aesthetics, analysis) and eight years of Classical Guitar.



Otmaro became part of the very small elite of Recording and Touring musicians working with the most prominent Venezuelan artists and International Jazz and Pop artists visiting his country and in conjunction with his performing career, Otmaro was part of one of the most important TV & Radio Jingle production companies, "Musica & Letra", which would become a very important ingredient in his development as a composer, arranger and producer.



Currently living in Los Angeles, he balances his life as a studio recording artist, touring musician and educator (IF INTERESTED IN PIANO/IMPROVISATION PRIVATE LESSONS, please contact through this site or through WWW.OTMARORUIZ.COM for information. Several plans/rates available).
