Chicago based multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Osvaldo Paese has 300+ songs in portfolio and has landed in the Top 20 two years in a row at the Chicago Suburbs Talent Contest.

Blending various musical elements, Osvaldo’s style falls somewhere on the spectrum between psychedelic rock and world music influences. Hearing instruments from various cultures around the world on the same track as 60’s/70’s influenced guitar runs is not uncommon.

Osvaldo’s work ethic, his openness to experimenting with a variety of styles, and his deep ambition have driven this musicians to dive into all genres resulting in a mash-up of genres unlike anything you hear from most (average) bands.

With so much music available, I suggest you start by following Osvaldo on Soundcloud. There you will be able to get a better taste for the melting pot of sounds that originate from Paese’s creative spirit.

Next I’d recommend his YouTube channel where you can browse through his collection of home studio recordings and other videos showcasing his music.

You can also find Osvaldo’s music on Myspace.
