Olenka’s professional musical career began in 1993 when she met some musicians and writers in Nice. Christophe Laurenti (guitar) and David Tessier (piano) became good friends and a great ispiration to develop her talent.
The SOS Band was born in 1994 as their first project, still in progress, that has its roots in soul music, rock and funk.
It was the beginnings of a long success that brought SOS around Europe to perform live and that enabled them to collaborate with many international artists.The need for a more intimate approach to the public was met in 1998. The concept of SOS ACOUSTIC (Christophe and Olenka) is the re-arrangement of their music for two guitars and vocals.In 2000 Olenka took on a new challenge and joined the renowned orchestra Baie des Anges. With this ensemble of 24 musicians she walks the stage on some of the most prestigious venues in Europe. In Monaco, Hotel de Paris, Sporting,Grimaldi forum, Hermitage ; in Nice, Nikaia, Acropolis ; in Paris ,St. Moritz, Barcelona, Losanne ,Singapore, Manila to name but a few.
Since then, she has been asked to collaborate with various other orchestras such as Orient Express (rock), Riviera, Showtime ect.
Olenka’s experience allows her to transend from acoustic to orchestral with great ease. It’s impossible not to feel her energetic strong vibe. A unique voice and presence.
The sign of a great artist.
