-BIO-

Shaky Ground Productions proudly presents this extraordinary guitarist - multi instrumentalist - writer - producer - arranger.

Wesley picked up the guitar at age of six and by age 14 was touring Europe with his own projects "Heart Of Blues", "Woodoo", "Had" and "Supersession Group". As a leading guitar player in his native country Croatia. Wanting to broaden his own horizons he attended Berklee School of Music in Boston and within two years was invited to Los Angeles by Motown Records. It was at that time he decided to make his new home the United States.

From New York to Hawaii, as a player , songwriter or producer, Wesley always leaves a lasting impression. With his own band T.O.T., later called Raw Nature, Wesley moved from L.A. to Las Vegas to San Francisco and finally settled down in Lake Tahoe. Living at the Lake seems to provide him with the kind of radiating energy that inspires creativity. Upon arriving in Tahoe he briefly worked with a popular local band CBK. He recorded and produced their CD Move On in 2000.

It was at that time he met native New Yorker Liz Broscoe and decided to re-invent Raw Nature. As a vocalist, lyricist, drummer and percussionist, Liz is a perfect compliment to Wesley. With fresh new approach to Raw Nature they formed Shaky Ground Productions. In 2001 they recorded and released CD Justify To Me. 2002 brought a full length CD Celebrity, and in 2004 their newest album Back On Track was released.

Wesley's musical upbringing contains a large amount of Rock/Blues/Funk and Jazz. His unique playing style reflects his ability to successfully combine the elements of all these styles. Wesleys solo album Now And Then was released in June 2006. Mixture of acoustic traditional and contemporary blues/pop and country is a ten songs CD all written by Wesley O. including remakes of three songs by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Beatles ( some of the few artists that inspired him over the past ).
