This is a bio about Royel Otis. Royel Otis is a band. There are two members: Royel and Otis. Royel is the one with the hair covering his face. Otis is the one with the voice. Together, they make deceptively simple, emotionally complex anthems perfect for drinking beer in the sun, dancing with your friends, and finally working up the courage to kiss your crush on the mouth. Hailing from Bondi Beach, Australia, Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic met while working in bars and cafés around the area. They first entered the studio as relative strangers but quickly discovered a shared knack for crafting glowing, addictive melodies with dynamite hooks. Their music evokes the thrill of firsts - the first gig, first kiss, first hickey - and resonates with an irrepressible sense of cool.
