He started as a DJ and animator in Tyrol, in 1999 he had his breakthrough with his hit single "Anton aus Tirol", since then his songs are often played on so-called apres-ski and Ballermann-parties.
There is also an American deathrock-band "Ötzi" (https://otzi.bandcamp.com/), the scrobbles of which all get connected to this profile for some reason (needs to be fixed).

DJ Ötzi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand-new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know I feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand-new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know I feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand-new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know I feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
The lyrics of DJ Ötzi's "I Want You To Want Me" are all about desperately wanting someone's love and attention. The singer expresses his desperation through statements like "I want you to want me," "I need you to need me," and "I'm begging you to beg me." He is willing to do anything to get this love, including shining up old brown shoes, putting on a brand-new shirt, and coming home early from work. The lyrics also reveal a sense of vulnerability, with the singer asking if the person he wants has ever been in a similar state of desperation, and if they have ever felt alone and on the brink of dying. The repetition of the chorus and the title throughout the song emphasize the desperation and the need for reciprocation.
One way to interpret these lyrics is to see it as the singer reflecting on a relationship that has ended or one that never began, possibly due to his own lack of action or communication. The lyrics suggest that the singer has realized the importance of the person's love and attention and is now willing to do anything to get it. The repeated line "didn't I see you crying" could be interpreted as a moment of realization or a suggestion that the singer was not doing enough to be there for the person he wants.
Overall, "I Want You To Want Me" is a song about desperation, the need for attention and love, and the willingness to do anything to get it.
