About Us

Welcome to musicvariations.com, home of the sweet sounds orchestrated by Oz the Guitarman & Mrs. Keys!

OZ (The Guitarman)
OZ (The Guitarman)
Osvaldo’s musical skills were self-taught at an early age; first on the Ukulele, slowly progressing to both the Guitar and Keyboard. His guitar skills are uncanny, having been inspired by his idol and inspiration; the late Chet Atkins. Teaching ‘fingerstyle’ guitar to several students from various age groups, Osvaldo also organizes concerts for his students to display their musical expertise.
SANDRA (Mrs Keys)
SANDRA (Mrs Keys)
Sandra was born with a piano in hand learning to play at the tender age of 3 years old; ultimately completing the Royal School of Music Board Examinations. Sandra’s roots in music were instilled by her late father, a well-renowned and accomplished musician, performer and entertainer. Early in her school years she showcased her flare for music; extending from the Junior as well as Senior Adult Choirs. Her participation in the Convent School Brass Band (as a Bell Lyre player), the Youth Orchestra (playing the Viola) and various orchestral ensembles have honed her musical abilities.
GERRY

Gerry’s involvement in music came about quite late. The presence of “western compounds” somehow offered a chance to be involved in the performing arts. Although few and far between, he was involved in theater – directing and acting in stage plays. As far as music is concerned, his involvement was limited to being one voice in an 8-member all-male group. He never fancied himself as a solo singer so much so that the positive reaction to his performance surprised him. He eventually joined the Music Variations after they met through a church function.
