The answer shall remain elusive...for the moment. But if you sit back and really think about the name [in reference to the music], the explaination will present itself.

Yes. Live. Detroit area. Love every second of it.

YOU BET YOUR LIFE!

OttO Vector arrived in Detroit in the Summer of 2002, created by Mike Sonic and Ginseng. Both had many years of experience as members of "live" bands in Detroit, but neither ventured into the purely "electronic" realm. Using their years of collective musical experience as a guide, Sonic and Ginseng wrote and recorded a small library of electronic techno-pop songs. While this was sufficient for many months, the group became ambitious to take their new project a step further. Wanting to further expand the boundaries of the project to a "live/performance" venue, the group recruited the full time talents of both Will Daviddi and Jacobe to play live drums and bass, respectively. The soul of the project was defined by the addition of newcomer vocalist Renee', the humanity of her voice serving as a perfect foil to the electronic audio landscape. Thus was born the electronic-pop-rock hybrid that is OttO Vector.

We like funk, we like groove. We listen to everything- but that doesn't mean you'll hear it directly referenced in our music. For example- we're HUGE fans of Tom Waits...but you probably won't find any musical similarities in our songs.
