Marketing Director and PR for IDSDesignz / Financial Representative /Ambassador for Puerto Rican Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
Melvin David Otero was born in Tampa Florida to parents of Puerto Rican descent. In
his early years of school, he joined the Hispanic Mentor Society and spent much of
his time learning about his culture as well as the importance of preserving it. He
understood how the Hispanic culture has impacted the United States and in his heart
he felt he was meant for greater things and wanted to be a part of shaping a better
tomorrow for his people.
He knew the key to creating a better future for tomorrow was to inspire the youth of
today. Leaving years of management in retail behind, he began his journey as a singer
and producer that traveled throughout the United States inspiring the youth through
his music and passion for his culture. He performed in many Puerto Rican day
Parades traveling to many cities such as: Tampa, Orlando, New York, Jersey City,
Connecticut and more. Melvin D. Otero shared the stage with many of today’s top
Latin Artist including, Don Omar, Toby Love, Wisin y Yandel among others and used
the power of music to relay his message of hope for his people.
In 2006 he was given the spot on an urban TV show called “Reggaeton pal Mundo”
which aired on Telemundo in central Florida and rapidly became a known figure in
his community. He has since worked as a host on several other shows as well as
“Bajomundo360” featured on www.Altoklibre.com , known as the number one
internet station of “Musica urbana”.
As his years of experience shaped his talent in marketing and graphic design, he
began to shift his energy towards his studies and later became a founder along side his
friend and partner, Albert Polanco of IDSdesignz. This new company focused on web
marketing, business innovations and website and mobile site creations.
Melvin’s studies would lead him to understanding that many Hispanics today are
going through difficult times because they are suffering financially and felt that if he
furthered his education, he could help those around him by empowering them with
knowledge of how to face these financial struggles and overcome them. In 2012 he
became a Financial Representative and since then has been able to help many
Hispanic families by utilizing comprehensive financial planning strategies.
He is currently an active member and ambassador of the Puerto Rican Hispanic
Chamber. Melvin believes that unity equals strength and travels to educate others on
how the PRH Chamber is helping the communities around them. He understands the
Power Hispanics have when they are committed to excellence. His mission is to
inspire those around him and encourage them to inspire those around them.
Melvin is married to Silvia and their children are: David Matthew, Madison Lynne
and has a new baby.
