Paris, France

Born in Germany, he first studied classic singing meanwhile he was cultivating his passion for the great storytellers of the 50s : Anita O’Day, Peggy Lee, Shirley Horn as well as Johnny Hartman, Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett. Finding within their melodies and rhythms the source of a long-lost dream. Hollywood’s golden age: a memory that lives inside him. Indulging in his bittersweet intonations the way you would a Ginger Champagne, or another one of his cocktails of which only he holds the secret. Without nostalgia, Olaf Olsen knows how to conjugate Slim Aaron’s vision in the present.
