Shane Ortiz

Being a Fil-Am (Filipino American) artist, some of my stuff is in Tagalog as well as English. My CD entitled "How Am I" is 8 tracks of 6 original songs and 2 remakes.

It will be available in late February 2009 in record bars nationwide (Philippines).

I do play live, mainly in the Philippines because that's where the majority of my career is taking place. I enjoy it a lot. Probably the most memorable of my performances thus far was for a provincial festival in the Philippines. The people were VERY enthusiastic and just all together an amazing crowd to play for.

I don't believe there is any one artist that has influenced me more than others.

My musical influences are pretty much every song of every artist I've ever heard.

As for similarity to in sound, it would probably be Michelle Branch or Kitchie Nadal.
