Oska Zaky is a multifaceted composer based in London, renowned for his innovative and emotive musical storytelling. From an early age, Oska’s passion for music was evident; he famously conducted “Orpheus in the Underworld” in the back of his mother’s car at just four years old. This fervor led him to begin playing the violin, marking the inception of his musical journey.

Growing up near the legendary Glastonbury Festival, where his mother worked as a press photographer, Oska was enveloped in a rich tapestry of musical influences. This environment not only shaped his artistic sensibilities but also provided him with early performance opportunities, including a notable appearance at the festival at age 15. In 2017, he opened the Rabbit Hole stage at Glastonbury and returned for another performance in 2019.

Oska’s music is profoundly influenced by his Egyptian heritage. He has recently begun collaborating with clients in Cairo and the Middle East, incorporating elements that pay homage to his Arab roots. A versatile musician with formal classical training, Oska is proficient in a diverse array of instruments, including double bass, guitar, piano, drums, violin, djembe, and bass guitar.

As a composer, Oska has a unique talent for blending auditory elements to create deeply personal and impactful pieces that complement visual media. His notable collaborations include music videos with Two Door Cinema Club, Chris & Mick Jagger, Circa Waves, Alfie Jukes, and Sea Girls. He has also produced content for brands like Globe, CHPTR 3, Mous, Chinchilla, and Tim Gallagher.

Oska has co-written with a variety of artists, including Aaron Horn, Tomike, George Moir, Insincere, Lana Lubany, Gabriel Gifford, July Jones, Jack Vallier, Indigo Eyes, Georgie O’Brien, Vanessa Gimenez, and Quarry.

Oska Zaky continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression, seamlessly integrating his love for music and film to create works that resonate deeply with audiences.
