James Otto (real name - James Allen Otto) is an American country music singer-songwriter. He was born on July 29, 1973 at Fort Lewis in Washington, USA.
He first took up singing at age four, and later learned to play violin and saxophone. However, he wanted to learn to play guitar as well, and at age thirteen, he received a guitar for his birthday.
Otto is a member of the MuzikMafia, a group of country-music singer-songwriters known for their "country music without prejudice". Otto began his career on Mercury Nashville Records in 2002, charting three minor singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts and recording one album for Mercury before being dropped in 2004.
His first single, "The Ball", peaked at no 45 on the Billboard country charts; a second single, "Long Way Down", failed to chart at all. "Days of Our Lives", his third release for the label, a song entitled "Days of Our Lives", was released in late 2003, peaking at no 33 on the country charts.
His debut album was released on Mercury, and in 2004, Otto was signed as an opening act for Shania Twain on her Up! Tour. His fourth single for Mercury, "Sunday Morning and Saturday Night", peaked at #58, and he exited Mercury not long afterward.
In late 2007, he signed to Warner Bros. Records. His second album, Sunset Man, was released in April 2008, produced by John Rich (of Big & Rich) and Jay DeMarcus of (Rascal Flatts), the latter of whom is also Otto's brother-in-law. The lead-off single to Sunset Man, "Just Got Started Lovin' You", has become a Top 5 hit on the country charts as of April 2008.
