About
“1:AM:00”, born John Ortega, is an emerging American recording artist & singer/songwriter. Originally from Pomona, California and raised in the Inland Empire’s west end, the man known as 1:AM:00 attributes his eccentric, bold, and unique storytelling to his upbringing. He often refers to himself as being “blessed” to have been raised in such a historic and diverse community, where people from all walks of life are able to come together creatively at the highest level. However, Ortega prides himself on being one to report on “the good, the bad, and the ugly” through his records. With singles like “Ride” and “Fabulou$”, 1:AM:00 takes the record from a blank canvas to a vivid illustration almost instantly; echoing the tales of the struggles, triumphs, and lifestyle that comes with being from the “Best Side”.
