Oscar’s music career started in a gospel band in Durban North. In 1986 he moved to Harding to do missionary work for nine years before settling in Port Shepstone in 1995 to run his IT company.

When his son started playing the drums, he picked up his guitar again and teamed up with local musos Dave Marks and Larry Amos and played a few gigs at the Rock Music Bistro in Umzumbe.

He has also shared the limelight with Cinder Alter, Nibs van der Spuy, Guy Buttery and Greg Georgiades. He is also a former member of Jacob’s Saw.
