Donna Keiko Ozawa's Blurbs |
About me:
I am a Drummer, Bassist and Visual Artist.
I am "The Great and Powerful Oz."
I began studying piano at age 8 and guitar at 11 years. I have played electric bass for 16 years. I began seriously studying drums about 4 years ago and am playing music now more than ever. My current teachers are master drummer Chuck Brown and John Mader. I am also studying blues with blues guitarist Johnny Nitro.
I play many styles including rock, jazz, R&B/soul, funk, blues and experimental music. I am looking to work with original projects and established bands. I have performed with the all women's rock cover band, the CoverGrrlz, Second Date(cover band) and LICK, an all women's Rolling Stones Tribute Band. You can hear my drumming mp3's on my website at www.donnaozawa.com, the CoverGrrlz website and CoverGrrlz myspace page .

I am a visual artist when I am not playing music. You can see my portfolio at www.donnaozawa.com and www.waribashi.org. Read my blog - thegreatnpowerfuloz.blogspot.com.
