History

David started his solo musical career as "El Pescao", an alias inspired by a song he composed for the album ''Zapatillas'' by El Canto del Loco. His first solo album "''Nada Lógico''", released in 2010, reached number two on the Top sellers charts in Spain. The single sold over 30,000 copies and received the
Golden Record certification.
After a three-year long Spanish tour with over 280 shows, Otero released a special edition of his last album called"''Un viaje nada lógico''" (2011). This album was followed by an
EP titled "''Ciao Pescao''" (2012).
