Olivier Milchberg was born in Paris, November 7th, 1963. He studied piano and guitar, both classical and jazz for 10 years. At 19, he joined the group ‘Los Incas’, founded by his father Jorge Milchberg [1928-2022]. He began as a guitarist, then continued as flute solo.
The international tours and multiple recordings with Los Incas gave him a much experience as a poly-instrumentalist.
He founded Muance Productions in 1988, both as a recording studio and for production of traditional music.
He shares his time between concerts, composition, artistic direction and as producer. From 1998 on, he developed a passion for oriental music. In 1999 he joins the group "Pêcheurs de Perles" as a performer and artistic director, with many international tours and the recording of 3 cds. In 2008 he is hired by Cirque du Soleil to take part of the new show "Zaia" in Macau, China, where he lives for 4 years.
This approach brought him to play numerous instruments traditional or ethnic, like bouzouki (metal strings), Kaval (bulgarian flute), percussions.
His musical research is more than all based on music with soul and roots, in which his inspiration comes for the development of his personal expression.
