OTC (Outta The Cage) bring together Afro beats, HipHop, R&B and Dance. Their passion is to encourage young people to break out of the cages of poor mental health or low self-esteem and enjoy the freedom and hope that Jesus offers us.
Working as part of The Message Trust the band tour nationally and internationally performing in high schools and colleges, delivering engaging lessons on the issues facing young people today, such as knife crime, county lines exploitation, resilience and self-esteem.
OTC’s debut single, ‘I Win’, saw commercial airplay on BBC Manchester. Their second release, ‘Reaching Out’, spoke into loneliness, isolation, and mental health.
The band’s fifth single ‘NO MORE KNIVES’ was written to help combat knife crime in the UK, urging young people to lay down their knives and say yes to life. OTC toured this track around high schools as part of the No More Knives tour nationally reaching over 150,000 young people over 25 tours.
