Oscar, who is of Guatemalan descent brought with him talent and love of music that sprung 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 and 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 has released his Debut CD - "Fruits of the Mourning" and it can be purchased on his website oscarortega.net or myspace.com/oscarortega. Oscar is also teaching guitar in the styles of Rock, Blues, Neoclassical, Shred and Flamenco.

Oscar's song "Milagro" Reached the #7 spot on the Latin-Jazz Category at soundclick.com and his song "April 31st" has been nominated "Best Breakup Song" by Boise Weekly Newspaper!
