Otis English (real name Otis Ehrlich) is the 16-year-old multi-talented offspring of Emma Ridley, the notorious Wild Child who cavorted around the London club scene back in the Eighies, and her ex-music biz manager hubby, Philip Ehrlich.
And while his mother Emma, now living somewhere in the Cali-Valley, hangs upside-down on a stripper pole, this young man is carving out quite a nice career for himself…
Otis, a blues-rock singer songwriter has formed a new band called Otis English and the Owls, and many industry bigwigs are starting to sit up and take notice of him.
Otis’ focus is to bring back old methods and sounds that came from the greats. His influences include Blues Rock legends such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd to funk and soul musicians such as Stevie Wonder, James Brown and Funkadelic.
He tells British Weekly, “I don’t want to get dragged into the feel of today’s pop and rock. I hope people find our music to be unique by today’s standards. I’m definitely not like Justin Bieber.”
Who would have thought such talent could have sprang from Ridley’s loins!
