Otto Stenzel, also known as Otto Stenzeel, was a prominent German musician, film composer, and bandleader born on April 12, 1903, in Berlin, Germany. He passed away on March 7, 1989, in Baden-Baden, Germany. During the 1920s, Stenzel was a musician in the Boston-Club-Tanzorchester under Bernard Etté in Berlin. From 1926 to 1930, he served as a cinema bandmaster at the UT Kurfürstendamm and became involved in composing for silent films such as "Die schönsten Beine von Berlin" (1927), "Menschen am Sonntag" (1929), "Mascottchen" (1928/29), and "Tagebuch einer Verlorenen" (1929).

In 1930, Stenzel became the conductor of the theater orchestra at the Scala revue theater in Berlin, where he recorded numerous records, including "Sag' beim Abschied leise Servus" (1936) and "Musik! Musik! Musik!" He collaborated with musicians like Mike Danzi and Franz Thon. In October 1939, Stenzel was temporarily arrested by order of Joseph Goebbels along with other artists. He should not be confused with the film assistant director Otto Stenzel, born in 1926.
