Funk Survivor of the 23rd century, Beats, Tape, and Thumbs.

The sounds of Shuggie Otis and Michael McDonald inspired a man to write a song. A couple of Mondays later, that song inspired an Identity. The name is Otis McDonald. The mission? Good Music.

From the mind and ears of producer/multi-instrumentalist, Joe Bagale, comes a sound that is fresh but tangibly rooted in nostalgia. When taking a listen, one may recall the soul of the 60s or the funk of the 70s. Or perhaps it’s pop radio from the 80s or the boom bap beats of the late 90s. What ever it may be, Otis McDonald is the sound of an artist who manifests a lesson in versatility and growing perspective.

Soon there will be more music everywhere and in the mean time if you want to work together then by all means shoot me an email: otismacmusic@gmail.com

Wow y'all. I'm blown away. I started this channel as a way to introduce my project known as Otis McDonald. It all started here. No website, no IG, no Facebook, etc. Just a YouTube channel. My cousin @vltrr started making artwork for my music and then we started making videos along with @funkchild @antonelmvik and @mikechiavaro. Somehow we just hit 100k subscribers. Thank you everyone for supporting. Love you too the moon and back. Lots more to come. #grateful #otismcdonald #youtube
