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.

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.

Oscar has released his Debut CD - "Fruits of the Mourning" in 2007. It can be purchased on his website www.oscarortega.net or iTunes. He has collaborated with several musicians on studio and for studio work and is currently finishing up the final steps for his 2nd CD release.

Oscar is also an instructor at www.ourmusicnation.com as the rock instructor  for the 7 and 8 string guitar with free videos and articles!
