About Us

ODC Productions was initially founded in Seattle Washington in 1986 by Oscar Danilo Chaparro an avid songwriter and harmonica player taking harmonica lessons at the time from blues man Dick Powell. Oscar would sit in with several local blues bands including “Astral Traveler” in the Pioneer Square district. He would also frequent the "Red Cabbage" a local restaurant where he met future New Age star David Lanz. David held an impromptu ‘open mic’ on Thursday nights where Oscar would sit-in on harmonica and occasionally on piano. Oscar began taking piano lessons from David and one day after a lesson a jam ensued where Oscar’s first demo was born: a rhythm and blues song "August Moon of 1957". Oscar would also play original compositions on piano with fellow musician Mikel T. Rollins at many wedding receptions and would write, produce and perform on several more demo tracks that ultimately became known as the "Mother's Day Serenade" project.

In December of 1988 Oscar took on a job with Essential Software in the San Fernando Valley and moved ODC Productions to Los Angeles where he set up a small music studio. During that time Oscar would continue taking piano lessons with several piano teachers and occasionally sit in with the Chris Ho Band. While living in the Antelope Valley Oscar took a job with local television station KPAL Television producing a local talk show. He also decided to return to school full time to broaden his skills as a multimedia producer while taking on several assignments in both multimedia technology as well as multimedia production. During this time he attended countless seminars, workshops, certification programs and colleges. In 1995 Oscar attended and completed a Recording Engineer Certificate Program at Sound Master Audio Video Institute under recording legend Brian Ingoldsby. Oscar continued taking piano lessons with Gina Felicetta as well as with piano great Mark Massey. He studied under author and voice teacher Gloria Bennett and continued refining his harmonica skills by studying the works of and attending a seminar by harmonica pioneer Lee Oskar as well as lessons from Los Angeles based harmonica virtuoso Dave Gage.

We are currently working on several projects which are at various stages of production and continue to seek out new acts to assist in producing broadcast quality demo packages...
