About Me

Well hello there!
Welcome to my profile! I am mostly known as the guitarist of the melodic Stadium Rock act EYE and for the time I was a member of the Hard Rock / Heavy Metal band Katana (2003-2008). I'm also doing sessions, recordings and live gigs together with the singer / songwriter Emily Trex among others. So if you're looking for a session musician (guitars mostly, but I am also doing keyboards, bass, drums and vocal harmonies), songwriter and/or producer, feel free to ask!
In February 2009, the debut CD "2 Hearts" by EYE will be released! At the same time, I will start the recording of my first solo CD called "Salvation" under the name Oz Osukaru's Scandinavia. I will also produce, write and play on the debut CD "Edens Curse" by the new talent Sarah Shade and return to the Heavy Metal scene by doing the same with the beautiful singer Jennie Nord. More projects is on its way so keep yourself updated!
Over the years so far I've been touring and playing together with:
Treat, Sabaton, Freedom Call, Head Phones President, Sister Sin, Hellfueled, Nocturnal Rites, Sonic Syndicate, Entombed, Avatar, Finntroll, Incrave, Rydell & Quick, Those We Don't Speak Of, Emma Varg, Hysterica, Transport League, Savage Heart and a few more!
I'm also running the management company Blindfoldead International which you will find among my "Top Friends".
Yours Truly!
