I played the violin from 11 on, with 25 I started with the sax . If you like to know more about me, visit www.olisax.de (for translations please contact me. For Urdu and Hindi I have to make extra-charges :-)).
I like to play all kinds of styles - from Jazz to Salsa , from Art-Rock to Brasil , from Soul and R&B to classical .
As Duke Ellington said, there are only two different types of music: good and bad one!
But my real passion is - CUBAN MUSIC !
