Bassist Ilya Osachuk is a new creative voice in the North American jazz scene. He has developed an original sound as a player, composer, and arranger. He continues to push the boundaries of jazz while simultaneously upholding its tradition and vernacular.

Born in Winnipeg Canada, Osachuk quickly established himself as a fixture in Winnipeg’s jazz scene before moving to New York City to further his career. While living in Winnipeg he regularly worked with the city's top musicians, including Juno Award nominees Erin Propp, Larry Roy, Will Bonness, and Ron Paley.

Osachuk made his creative debut as leader in 2019 with his small ensemble. Since then he has performed original compositions and arrangements for trio, quintet, octet, and jazz orchestra. Since moving to New York City in 2021, Osachuk has performed at some of the city’s top venues including Peter Jay Sharp Theater and Dizzy’s Club.

Osachuk is currently studying towards a Masters of Music degree in Jazz Studies at The Juilliard School. He studies double bass with Ben Wolfe, and composition and arranging with Andy Farber. Before coming to Juilliard, Osachuk graduated from the University of Manitoba’s Desautels Faculty of Music in 2021 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz Performance. During that time he primarily studied with professors Karl Kohut, Jon Gordon, and Meredith Johnson (Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra).

A two-time recipient of the Morse Teaching Fellowship at Juilliard, Osachuk is an experienced and enthusiastic educator. He has been educating since 2016, having taught a wide range of ages and skill levels from beginners to university-level musicians. He teaches classical, jazz, and contemporary music. As a clinician, Osachuk has taught at many high schools in Manitoba Canada, both on his own and in conjunction with the University of Manitoba.
