Otto Aday at Whelans

Emerging from the rugged beauty of the Rhondda Valleys and now rooted in Dublin, Otto Aday is a spellbinding songwriter and producer whose music drifts between the cinematic and the soul-baring.

From Nashville and Abbey Road Studios, Otto has shaped a world entirely his own: one of sweeping soundscapes and unflinching honesty.

Described as Wales’ best-kept musical secret, he has shared stages with Sir Tom Jones, James Bay, The Kooks, and Billie Marten, and earned Best Music Video at FOCUS Wales and led him to play Other Voices Dingle 2025.

His debut, guided by Grammy winner Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), captures an artist chasing truth rather than perfection. His music has been heard on BBC Radio Wales, Radio 2 and BBC Radio 1.

With a voice that commands attention and songs that linger long after they end, Otto Aday stands at the edge of something remarkable.
