Biography

www.olegtumanov.com

Oleg Tumanov is not merely a composer, he is a melodist. Oleg is inspired to create new bright and romantic melodies, shape them into modern rhythms and styles. He is not stuck in one music style or genre. Rather he believes that true and sincere melody can take different forms and has interests in many modern music styles, such as pop, Latin, jazz… Many of his tunes, very much like paintings of impressionists, create associations and illustrations to images and feelings and all of them have memorable melodies.

Grown up in a family of musicians, Oleg was surrounded by beautiful music from all over the world. He started to play piano when he was 5 and was raised as a pianist. He has been composing music for a long time. The first semi-professional records were mainly intended for his friends and family. Some years ago Oleg released two CDs in Russia (“Latin Romance” and “Let’s Run Away Together) with Latin-style music performed by Russian musicians. The music from one CD was chosen by top Latin dancers to accompany world Latin ballroom championships. His CD “Latin Romance” received a Russian National award from ball room dance association for 2004.

The same year Oleg recorded a new CD “Rio Havana”. Some of the greatest musicians in contemporary Latin music took part in the creation of “Rio Havana”. Among them were Grammy award winner piano virtuoso, the founder of one of Cuba’s well-known Latin Jazz bands “Irakere” Chucho Valdes, a world-renowned Brazilian composer and truly a godfather of the Bossa Nova school of Jazz, Grammy winner Joao Donato.
