With delicate dancing melodies and exotic imaginings Adelaide's Oisima has found a global audience with his emotionally connective, original productions. 

His third release & debut full length album 'Nicaragua Nights' was released through Create/Control Records in 2015.

From his debut EP “Dusk Till Dawn” to his semi-regular mix tapes ‘Jewels of Thought’ his follow up “Goddess” EP  & full length 'Nicaragua Nights' Oisima, the moniker of Anth Wendt, has created his own palate of sonic colours - a finely tuned blend of contemporary soul, mixing Middle Eastern influences with a rich background in Jazz and a love for blues and bass, Oisima crafts his own intangible universe of startling sounds.

From regularly selling-out his club night shows to playing on some of the countries biggest stages; an acclaimed spot on the Splendour In The Grass Redbull Music Stage, Big Day Out, and Adelaide’s WOMAD Festival as well as touring nationally with the likes of Bonobo & St Germain and supporting the likes of Hiatus Kaiyote, Shigeto and Knxwledge. 

Oisima interprets and lifts his distinctive music from a headphone and immersive experience to a dance floor enticing performance. Pulling out bass lines and deftly manoeuvring melodies on a MPC, his remarkable productions translate perfectly to a sunlit-stage or a basement club sound system.

Winner of the Queen Elisabeth (2009) and Yehudi Menuhin Competitions (2008), Ray Chen is among the most compelling young violinists today.   “Ray has proven himself to be a very pure musician with great qualities such as a beautiful youthful tone, vitality and lightness.   He has all the skills of a truly musical interpreter,” said the great Maxim Vengerov.
Ray has released two critically acclaimed albums on Sony: a recital program “Virtuoso” of works by Bach, Tartini, Franck, and Wieniawski, and the Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky concertos with Swedish Radio Orchestra and Daniel Harding.   Following the success of these recordings, Ray was profiled by The Strad and Gramophone magazines as “the one to watch”.   “Virtuoso” was distinguished with the prestigious ECHO Klassik award.   He is currently working on his third, all-Mozart album with Christoph Eschenbach and the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra, slated for release later this year.
Ray continues to win the admiration of fans and fellow musicians worldwide.   In 2012, he became the youngest soloist ever to perform in the televised Nobel Prize Concert for the Nobel Laureates and the Swedish Royal Family.   His Carnegie Hall debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and Sakari Oramo, as well as his sold-out Musikverein concert with the Gewandhaus Orchestra and Riccardo Chailly were met with standing ovations.   Since the 2012- 13 season, Ray has been invited to join Konzerthaus Dortmund's series “Junge Wilde,” which presents young and groundbreaking artists in Germany.   Later this season, Ray will make his San Francisco recital debut at the SF Jazz Center. He also looks forward to his upcoming recital tour of Australia and his debuts with the Orchestre National de France and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Followed by over 500,000 people on SoundCloud, Ray Chen looks to expand the classical music audience by increasing its appeal to the young generation via all available social media platforms.   He is the first ever classical musician to be invited to write a regular blog about his life as a touring soloist for the largest Italian publishing house, RCS Rizzoli (Corriere della Sera, Gazzetta dello Sport, Max).   In his unstinting efforts to break down barriers between classical music, fashion and pop culture, he is supported by Giorgio Armani and was recently featured in Vogue magazine.
Born in Taiwan and raised in Australia, Ray was accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music at age 15, where he studied with Aaron Rosand and was supported by Young Concert Artists.   He plays the 1702 "Lord Newlands" Stradivarius violin on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation.
