There are two artists going by the name of SOTO:

1) SOTO, a new band which is the culmination of one of today's premier Rock frontmen and vocalists, Jeff Scott Soto, cast with a union of hotshot young musicians to bring you a slamming blend of melody and muscle in some of the freshest power metal to surface in years present their debut album, Inside The Vertigo.

The band is comprised of Jeff's most current solo band, who he insisted on making this musical merge with him. Jorge Salan (lead guitar), BJ (keys, guitars), David Z (bass) and Edu Cominato (drums). Soto adds ''these guys come from different parts of the world and bring their own influence to make this band very special. From the US to Europe to South America, we have an exciting mix of style and prestige that keeps us all on our toes''.

A neurotic blend of power metal, prog, groove-laden huge guitars, hooks and production, SOTO is a contender in today's modern Rock arena while capturing the essence of strong songwriting simultaneously.

2) Soto is a band formed in 2003 through 2005 by Ryuta Kobayashi, Hirotaka Makino, Jesse Peterson, and Bunichi Oshiro in Los Angeles. Currently, Ryuta Kobayashi is a solo artist in Kyoto, Japan while the other members along with Takeshi Udo (appearing on track 4) formed oto. .
