ABOUT

I have 3 main music projects on the go...

>>> (BLUES GROOVE PROJECT)
I am the lead singer/acoustic guitar and ring leader for the BILGOLA BENDERS, blues, groove and your favourite tunes we are currently a 5-piece and looking to extend our epic sound with Keyboards and Sax / Horns.
...must love doing a wicked blues solo!!!

>>> (POP ROCK PROJECT)
Lead singer / songwriter with professionally produced album releases looking to form new band to bring the sound to life!<<<
Looking for Drums - Bass - Lead Guitar - Keyboards - Sax/Horns, and its ideally great if you can also backup sing to support a strong vocal sound together. I would focus purely on lead vocals/frontman and some guitar.
Look up my album under artist name OLTAY (Kandinsky Calling) in Apple Music or Spotify, some songs also attached here.

>>> (ACOUSTIC PROJECT)
I also do a lot of Solo/Duo/Trio acoustic gigs for smaller venues and collaborate with various singers and things.
This is a great way to try new songs and styles and mix it up in a stripped back acoustic format.

Based in Avalon Beach in the northern Sydney beaches - so handy if you are more located this way, with a fantastic large music room space (Ocean Top Studios).

I am planning on meet and greet at my Studio place about 2-3x people for each spot to ensure we are on the same page together.
Its a big commitment for everyone, so its important that this is a project you want to really do and that we all can work and play well together.

I have some part-time day job and family commitments, but am very flexible. Plus I love to get down to Bilgola beach or play some golf in my relaxation time.

Would likely suit more mature ages / attitudes (30-50 yrs) so more on the same page with music/life/commitment to the band.
But I love mixing it with great attitude young guns who are committed.
Very keen to partner together to really nail a tight live quality sound and have some fun along the way.

I'm a highly committed musician with a great music space for low volume practice in Avalon Beach, where I also teach (OLTAY MUSIC SCHOOL).

Apart from our more fun and relaxed BILGOLA BENDERS band and acoustic gigs, my main focus is on a committed Pop/Rock band to recreate the 16x songs in a live concert.

Really want people committed to working with me to replicate this album as the central project - as its been a $50K investment.
I have producer who I did the album with on hand to assist guide us. Plus have been trying to find a manager to help guide us.
This is the real deal to unlock the elusive banana peel!
