On The Outside

On The Outside (OTO) is a Nashville-based pop/country vocal group composed of vocalists Andrew Bloom, Dawson Huckabee, Sam Jenkins and Jon Klaasen. Perhaps best described as “if Dan and Shay had a lovechild with One Direction”, the group’s unique sound and charisma has helped cement its presence in the hearts of legions of fans around the world.  On TikTok, OTO boasts over 5.6 million followers and over 95 million likes. Their influence on the popular social media platform also includes pioneering several popular trends like ‘finish the song/line”, “guess who’s singing” and “finish the riff” challenges.  

Social media is not the only place fans are discovering On The Outside. The band are currently on a Tour of the Midwest and South and has previously shared the stage with a diverse group of well-known artists including The Chainsmokers, Nelly, Ernest, Blanco Brown and Matt Stell to name just a few.  In studios and writing rooms, On The Outside has been co-writing and recording songs with some of Nashville’s biggest hitmakers including Laura Veltz, Jimmy Robbins, Hillary Lindsey, Paul DiGiovanni and Jordan Reynolds.

OTO's newest single called “Take It or Leave It” is an engaging and uplifting song that not only showcases OTO’s unique harmonies and vocal blend, but also conveys an important message of self-acceptance and the beauty of being unapologetically oneself, “Ain’t hiding her imperfections or sanding down her rough edges she’s shining unapologetically”. The song is a celebration of authenticity and the magic that happens when we embrace our true selves.

Co-written by OTO member Andrew Bloom and #1 hit songwriter Jimmy Robbins (Dan & Shay, Maren Morris, Keith Urban). The song “tells the enviable story of someone who is unashamed to be completely comfortable in their own skin” says Bloom.  It was recorded in Nashville at The Robbins Nest, produced by ACM and CMA winner, Jimmy Robbins, mixed by Mike Shimshack and mastered by 16x Grammy winner, Ted Jensen.
