Passionate Venezuelan-American cellist, currently pursuing masters degree in Cello Performance at The San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
I specialize in different varieties of music, such as classical, jazz, pop, rock, christmas songs, tango, romantic songs, video game soundtracks, religious hymns, and disney songs.
I’ve played cello for over 12 years now, in those 12 years I’ve had big opportunities, such as, playing with the National Youth Orchestra of Venezuela, participated in various masterclass, played with the FSYO (Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra). I frequently perform solo music, chamber music, orchestral excerpts, improvisations, etc.
Ocatavio was the perfect addition to our wedding! He was easy and professional to communicate with, and made sure he knew what we wanted. Everyone was obsessed with him. He did a fabulous job and I’m so happy we hired him!!!
Great ambient music and professional appearance, timely and friendly.
Octavia was a great communicator . He added a special touch to our daughters wedding .. very satisfied
Omg!! Octavio did an amazing job his playing really brought the vision I had for my ceremony to life. He worked with me to come up with a playlist that would really fit the mood of the ceremony ... it was absolutely perfect and I definitely be booking him again
Octavio played my sisters wedding at Casa Feliz. They played Canon in D beautifully as my sister walked down the isle. Then they played during the cocktail hour and it really set the mood. Very good job! I’d recommend him to everyone.

Venezuelan-American Cellist.
I have been playing cello for over thirteen years. My passion for music started at an early stage when I got to play my first concert with an orchestra. El Sistema (music system in Venezuela) played a big role in my formation as a cellist. I always loved competing and also connecting with other fellow musicians.
I studied cello at the Simón Bolívar Conservatory for three years. One of the most important moments of my life was when I moved out to the U.S in 2015, since then I have received masterclasses with teachers from UCF, FIA, Eastman, UC, SFCM, and Stetson University.
I will continue my studies at The San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where I will be able to grow as a musician and as a cellist. I’m a very passionate and expressive player who is always on the look for musical projects!
I would usually need a chair, but I’m good as long as I get good instructions of the event and the expectations that I have to meet for the event.

I have been influenced by my cello teachers, and world class soloists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Rostropovich, Pablo Casals and Jacqueline DuPre.
I also get inspired by modern groups such as Two Cellos, The piano guys, Apocalyptica, Simply Three and Brooklyn Duo.
