NOMAD (Michael Ripoll), The Career Musician , is someone we at Oksana Management Group genuinely love recommending to our artist community. With over 30 years as a veteran composer, music producer, music director, and session/touring guitarist—who’s shared stages with stars like Stevie Wonder, Natalie Cole, and Justin Bieber—he brings that rare mix of real-world experience and down-to-earth guidance that working musicians actually need.

What we appreciate most is how practical and honest he is about building a sustainable career, going beyond just talent to cover mindset, branding, networking, and the full business side of music. Through his personalized coaching sessions artists get concrete tools to turn passion into profit—from landing gigs to running a full-time business. He also hosts The Career Musician Podcast with over 160 episodes featuring pros like Harvey Mason Jr. and Nathan East, plus an upcoming online masterclass, The Career Musician: Pro Series.

We’re thrilled that NOMAD will be the EMCEE at our Oksana Foundation red carpet fundraising event on April 11, bringing his energy, professionalism, and charm to this special night—VIP ticket holders will have the exclusive opportunity to meet him alongside the featured musicians and other VIPs. It’s a natural fit for us: NOMAD’s focus on empowering musicians through education and mentorship perfectly mirrors our mission to promote music education, community outreach, and client growth in Santa Clarita and beyond.

Behind every piece of furniture and every portrait lies a story worth preserving. I’ve always believed that true craftsmanship is about transformation—turning what’s broken, faded, or forgotten into something enduring and beautiful again.

With a background in fine art and architecture, I bring both precision and imagination to every project. When repairing furniture, I don’t just fix what’s visible—I rebuild its structure, restore its balance, and renew its strength.

Whether it’s a cherished heirloom, a modern recliner, or a classic frame with loose joints, I approach each piece with patience, care, and a commitment to lasting quality. From structural repairs and leg restorations to detailed color matching and finish touch-ups, every job receives the attention it deserves.

Art, too, plays a vital role in my process. My commissioned portraits capture the essence of people, places, and objects that mean the most to you—expressive works that highlight the beauty in form, texture, and light. Each portrait tells a story, much like the pieces I restore: personal, timeless, and deeply crafted.

I take pride in my reputation for honesty, detail, and reliability.

Clients trust me not only because their furniture comes back better than ever, but because they know I’ll treat it as if it were my own. Whether I’m bringing life back to a beloved chair or capturing a moment on canvas, my goal remains the same—to make “the enemy of the best” The Better.

Furniture repair and commissioned art—crafted by hand, guided by heart, built to last.

About the OMG Mixer:
The OMG Mixer is a one-of-a-kind social and networking event created by Italian native Alex Concas, co-founder of Oksana Management Group, Inc. to bring together business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, and community leaders in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It is designed to help attendees build authentic relationships, expand their contacts, and explore potential collaborations without the pressure and formality often associated with traditional networking groups.  Unlike many membership-based organizations, the OMG Mixer offers free yearly membership, with attendees simply covering the cost of their food and beverages at each event. There are no quotas, no mandatory referrals, no attendance requirements, and no sales-driven agendas—just genuine conversations, quality connections, and an enjoyable social experience.

ABOUT THE OMG MIXER:

Whether you own your own company or represent the organization you work for, one thing remains essential for growth and expansion: CONTACTS.

You might have the most innovative product or service, and be the most skilled professional in your field, but unless you make yourself—and your offerings—known to potential clients and business partners, your growth will likely be limited.

The OMG Social/Networking Mixer is designed to help you do exactly that: we bring together an inspiring group of community members who could become your next clients or valuable business contacts.

Unlike many other networking groups, OMG Mixer offers free yearly membership. The only cost is for the food and drinks you enjoy at our events—and even then, we work hard to secure the best deals from our partner venues. There are no quotas, no mandatory attendance, no requirement to send a replacement if you can’t make it, and no pressure to give referrals. We simply want you to relax, have a great time, and build meaningful connections. If new business opportunities arise from these connections, that’s a bonus—and a sign we’ve achieved our goal.

Please note: while we welcome everyone, OMG Mixers are intentionally free from discussions about politics, religion, or other divisive topics. Our focus is on positive, enjoyable socializing—because there’s plenty to talk about beyond those subjects!

The OMG Mixer is an offspring of our main company, Oksana Management Group, Inc. 

OMG, Inc. was born back in 2010 thanks to the power of… Networking! Hence, we feel it’s time to give back!

Oksana® Management Group, (OMG, Inc.), is an agency that offers a vast array of Enrichment programs throughout Southern California to school districts, senior living communities and municipalities.

Alessandro Concas-inspired financial literacy curriculum designed to teach children and teens about how money works in a dynamic, fun and inclusive way.

Alessandro Concas, the teen son of OMG, Inc. and Oksana® Enrichment Programs founders and “kid-preneur,” has spearheaded an exciting new endeavor by the Oksana® Management Group camp. This financial literacy curriculum has been specifically designed to teach children and teens about how money works in a dynamic, fun and inclusive way, the goal being to lead and empower the next generation to care about their financial future through lessons in money, managing finances and entrepreneurship.

Click for Alessandro’s website

Some of the topics to be covered will include What is Money?, Spending/Allowance Plans, Budgeting, Saving and Investing, What is a Stock, How Credit and Debt Work, Charity Donations, Cost of College, Thinking Big/Goal-Setting and many more.

According to Oksana® Enrichment representatives, financial professionals will teach students important financial tips that, when implemented, will be beneficial throughout their lives.

“There are numerous benefits of financial education in schools, such as introducing positive financial habits at an impressionable age, preparing students for the workforce or part-time work in college and endowing students with vital expertise that can guide their financial decisions throughout life,” explains OMG co-Founder Oksana Kolesnikova. “We feel that everyone deserves to learn how money works, especially in times like these, when many people wish they were more financially grounded; however, it was our son, Alessandro, who pointed out the need for money management tips regarding his own peers, citing the fact that most kids don’t have a clue about financing in general.

“The simple money tips we are going to explore in this new program will give children and teens the proper confidence to be financially responsible, ultimately arming them with money management skills so that they never let themselves become overrun by debt. After all, it is our desire to see them evolve into masters of money…without letting money master them.”

Kind regards,
Oksana Enrichment Team

The profound impact of September 11, 2001, resonates with us all, continuing to influence artistic endeavors across various mediums.

Among these artistic tributes, Oksana Kolesnikova’s musical composition “Peace” stands as a sublime contribution to the tapestry of commemorative works.

Background on Oksana’s Creation of “Peace”

Oksana Kolesnikova, a virtuoso pianist, and composer inadvertently penned this stirring composition on that very fateful morning. Unbeknownst to her, as she was in the thrall of creation, the tragic events unfolded simultaneously.

The synchronicity was not lost on her when she later witnessed the devastating news—realizing that her work had inadvertently become a tribute.

To engage fully with the narrative behind the music, we highly recommend you view her poignant introduction and performance here: Oksana’s 9/11 Tribute to Victims & Families.

The Significance and Nuances

“Peace” is no mere musical composition; it is an auditory testament to the human condition. It encapsulates a range of emotions—sorrow, anguish, and ultimately, hope—that were collectively felt during those fateful moments.

The composition features:

• Elegiac melodies that channel collective change.
• Transcendent harmonies offering a semblance of hope.
• An emotionally charged musical narrative that culminates in a transcendent climax.

After delving into the profound musicality of “Peace,” we encourage you to further explore the multidimensional talents of Oksana Kolesnikova.

Her extensive repertoire extends beyond this singular tribute, encapsulating a life rich with musical and personal achievements.

Steps for Continued Exploration:

Immerse yourself in the tribute video and internalize its musical narrative.

Share the composition with colleagues and peers, thus broadening the circle of awareness.

Execute a Google search on Oksana Kolesnikova to discover her broad array of compositions and accomplishments.

P.S. Art often succeeds where words falter. Oksana’s “Peace” serves as a clarion call for unity, rising above the limitations of language. Do not miss this compelling artistic expression, in its original rendition:

Dear Friends, and Italy Aficionados:

Some of you may already know him, but for those of you who don’t, please let us have the pleasure to introduce you to the one and only ANTHONY BARBUTO, a new awesome friend we recently made during our ‘Where Fun meets Culture’ Italian journey.

Please make sure to visit his social media platforms, watch his videos, as you are in for a real treat.

Salute!

Lawyer Making a Name for Himself Through Social Media

Anthony Barbuto, an American lawyer of Italian descent, is not your typical American lawyer.  A legal industry pioneer in social media, Anthony has accumulated over 2.3 million fans between TikTok (@TheLawyer), and Facebook and Instagram (@ItalianEnthusiast).

Anthony Barbuto, founder of the general practice, Barbuto Law Firm, P.A., practices law predominantly in Palm Beach County, Florida, although he is also licensed to practice law in California and New Jersey.

Anthony grew up in New Jersey, but as a third-generation Italian American, most of his Italian heritage had been lost.  What he believed to be “Italian culture” in his youth, he later discovered was only a fiction – a mere fragment of Italian customs that had been butchered over three generations of Americanization.

It was only when Anthony began traveling to Italy on a regular basis as an adult when he understood that the Italian culture he had known growing up, was not authentic.  This fact, coupled with Anthony’s enthusiasm to study authentic Italian culture, inspired him to start his blog at www.ItalianEnthusiast.com in 2016, and social media channels on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube (@ItalianEnthusiast).  Through his Italian Enthusiasm, Anthony learned Italian as an adult, met his wife in Italy, spends over 2 months per year in Italy, and is raising his small children (Leonardo and Sofia) with authentic Italian culture.

In 2018, however, Anthony opened an account with TikTok making short videos.  As the very first lawyer on TikTok, Anthony not only creates Italian-themed videos, but most of Anthony’s TikTok videos are filmed at his law firm, portraying Anthony as a lawyer, yet having a fun, wholesome and human side.  This unique image of a lawyer quickly became a success on TikTok, gaining the attention on millions of people worldwide and inspiring students to pursue a career in the legal profession.

Through Anthony’s evolution in social media, he also ventured to produce the first lawyer rap song, titled The Lawyer Anthem, as well as introduce his wife and children in his YouTube family vlog titled The Barbuto Family.  Anthony’s presence on social media continues, with a recent, comedic TikTok video just last month amassing over 40 million views between his TikTok channel and other channels.

Through his work on social media, Anthony Barbuto is setting himself apart from the rest of the legal community by sharing his passions with the world and connecting like-minded people together, whether through enthusiasm for Italian culture or comedy.

For those of you who understand Italian…

Here’s Antonio in his own words!  (with English subtitles)

Oksana Kolesnikova is a world-renowned artist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and public figure.

MEET OKSANA: From Polo Lounge Entertainer to CEO and Entrepreneur

Oksana Kolesnikova got her start in Beverly Hills playing piano at the Polo Lounge. Now, she is the CEO and Founder of three successful companies making a difference in children’s lives through their academic enrichment programming.

Oksana Kolesnikova is becoming a household name across Southern California and beyond.  Those who have watched her rise up in Beverly Hills knew all along this was going to happen. From getting her start as a pianist at the Polo Lounge to now serving as the Founder and CEO of three successful companies, Oksana is setting herself up for even bigger moves in the near future. Oksana moved to Beverly Hills from Florida in 2006 to serve as the pianist at The Polo Lounge, the legendary 5-star restaurant and bar in The Beverly Hills Hotel, after spending parts of 2003 and 2004 traveling the world entertaining US troops stationed in Europe and Asia; performing for the United Nations, with appearances on PBS and five consecutive years at the Home Shopping Network.

Her position at The Polo Lounge provided her the opportunity to expand her artistic career; Oksana booked private parties, galas, and private lessons for both adults and children in the greater Los Angeles area. It was during this time at the Polo Lounge that Oksana realized her true passion in life: educating and enriching the lives of children through music. By the time she left The Polo Lounge in 2013, Oksana Management Group, Inc. (OMG) had been in operation for three years. Her first business, OMG, provides online and in-person private lessons and after-school enrichment programs for music lessons, foreign languages, and academic tutoring for K-12. When school is not in session, OMG provides summer camps, providing a year-round educational experience with a vast array of programs. The organization partners with schools, school districts, and municipalities (including the City of Beverly Hills) to provide children with additional educational and cultural opportunities that include music lessons, foreign language instruction, as well as programs such as acting, drawing and painting, chess, animation, financial literacy, and many more. Oksana is quickly becoming a top choice for celebrities looking at private educational programs.

The organization grew locally, leading Oksana to realize her vision beyond her backyard. With OMG’s success in Southern California, Oksana realized that her focus on music and foreign language was in-demand across the country. In order to provide these opportunities, she created Oksana Franchising International (OFI). Just recently, OFI has been approved to award education-based franchises in 35 states, adhering to the same curriculum that brought Oksana and her team success in Southern California. While Oksana found her initial upscale clientele through her connections within the Beverly Hills elite, she realized that there was a large section of the population who could not afford any kind of after-school enrichment programming. Turning from for-profit to non-profit, Oksana created the Oksana Foundation in 2020. Thanks to generous sponsors, the Foundation provides scholarships and grants for children to be able to utilize those programs. Through her extensive network in Southern California, Oksana and her team have been able to partner with businesses and other philanthropic entrepreneurs to grow their reach through the Foundation and touch the lives of even more children. After 10 solid years in business, Oksana earned the prestigious Award of Excellence in Education at a pre-Grammy Awards party for her contributions to her after-school enrichment programs. As she looks ahead, Oksana is grounded in her family-first mentality. She and her husband/business partner Alex live in Valencia, CA where they have resided since 2016 with their teen son Alessandro, a skilled pianist and budding entrepreneur himself.  She frequently posts to her YouTube channel, Oksanabella, with videos of her and her students performing music and participating in the various parts of the OMG curriculum.

Dr. Viossy arranges Oksana’s piano masterpiece “The Voice of Life” in Melodic Metal style.

Los Angeles, CA – April 2, 2017 – It was music at first sight. When Oksana’s management first heard Dr. Viossy’s outstanding Heavy Metal rendition of Beethoven’s third movement of Moonlight Sonata, they immediately contacted Dr. Viossy and proposed a creative collaboration between the two artists. The result is this dramatic, powerful and uplifting rendition of Oksana’s most meaningful original composition, “The Voice of Life.” (original piano version)

“Dr. Viossy couldn’t have done ‘The Voice of Life’ better justice. He captured the soul of the song, made it his, and generated this new masterpiece I am truly proud of,” Oksana says. Listen to this special version here: Dr. Viossy’s Metal Version of The Voice of Life.

Oksana wrote “The Voice of Life” for her own wedding in 2000, where she performed it for the first time. She has dedicated her composition to all people who are in love.

Oksana is no stranger to exciting collaborations with talented artists; in 2015 she collaborated with singer-songwriter Arielle Peri, who created an EDM version of the same love song.

About Dr. Viossy:

Michele “Dr.Viossy” Vioni is a solo artist, celebrity guitar coach, recording artist, and producer from Italy.

Michele started studying Music when he was a child and his love and devotion for Music and guitar made him one of the world’s most well-renowned guitarists. He’s been playing with his lifetime friend Michele Luppi (keyboardist for Whitesnake) since they were children.

Dr. Viossy is the most viewed Italian rock/metal guitarist on YouTube. His rendition of Beethoven’s third movement of “Moonlight Sonata” on electric guitar became viral in a few months, with over 17 million views so far. The rendition shows not only his dazzling technical skills, but also his classical music background and expertise.

About Oksana:

Oksana Yurievna Kolesnikova is a concert pianist, composer, and businesswoman; based in Los Angeles, CA. She was born in Siberia, in the city of Barnaul, and immigrated to the United States at age fifteen after the breakup of the USSR.

In 1999 Kolesnikova won the Florida State Young Artists Symposium Competition. Winning the competition earned her a scholarship to the Florida State University School of Music, where she graduated with honors in August, 2001. In 2006 Oksana became a US citizen, and in 2000 she married her Italian-born manager.  They have a 7 year old son.

Dear Friends:

We are almost one year into the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic, and even though most of us never imagined the dangers of this virus would endure this long, the reality of the situation is tangible and undeniable. We’re all now asking the same questions: Where do we go from here? Will the world ever be the same again? How do we protect ourselves – and loved ones – in the future? Is there anything we can do to help our fellow humans in their time of need?

We here at the Oksana® Foundation don’t have the answers to all these queries, but when it comes to extending a helping hand to our beloved neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances in our community, we definitely have something to say about that.

If you have ever dreamt about changing a fellow human being’s life through a selfless, inspirational act of kindness, our organization presents you the opportunity to do just that – especially amidst the current lockdowns and the series of life-changing events they have initiated. Indeed, our sponsored Enrichment Programs provide much-needed relief to families with kids stuck at home, and we are giving you a way to become directly involved in that charity.

First, a little about us: The Oksana® Foundation is an education and arts-focused initiative that provides opportunities to financially-challenged youth in their own neighborhoods, our mission to nurture and cultivate their gifts in order to build excitement, elevate hope, and support children in creating positive and lasting changes in the evolving world around them. The brainchild of noted Los Angeles-area businesswoman and acclaimed “Pianist to the Stars” Oksana® Kolesnikova, the Foundation remains a unique non-profit organization that takes Oksana’s passion for teaching and helping today’s young succeed to a higher level.

By donating to the Oksana® Foundation – a heartfelt gesture that is 100-percent tax-deductible, being that the Foundation boasts a genuine 501(c)(3) organization status – you will contribute to the ongoing efforts of the Oksana® Management Group and all its associated educational branches, including the highly-effective After-School Enrichment Programs, private lessons in music, foreign languages, tutoring services and more, ensuring that underprivileged youth and their schools have access to these results-driven solutions.

Put succinctly: You will forever change the lives of youngsters who possess the talent to achieve deep within, but who otherwise can’t afford a better education.

In addition to all this, there’s still plenty of benefits for you to enjoy by becoming an Oksana® Foundation Sponsor. In exchange for your sponsorship, the Oksana® Foundation agrees to promote your business or services through the OMG, Inc. network via engaging newsletters distributed to tens of thousands, press releases distributed to the media nationwide, word-of-mouth promotions, and inclusion on all OMG social media channels.

Further, we will also list your business/company on OMG’s primary websites with a clickable logo, taking visitors directly to your site, and we will also treat you to VIP tickets to future Gala events organized by the Foundation.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Matt Denny & Co (please see below) and our 2020 main Sponsors, namely serial entrepreneur Maria Catya Caradonna; Mr. Eddy Perez, CEO/Founder Millennium Maintenance Systems; co-creator and co-executive producer of the CBS reality show The Amazing Race Ms. Elise Doganieri, and all the caring and generous individuals who contributed in whichever capacity they could.

In closing, we hope you will consider making a donation to the Oksana® Foundation, as you will be helping members of our community who live with the harsh reality of not being able to provide their children with the education they deserve.

Thank you so very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to consider our proposal; we look forward to answering any questions you may have!

Kind regards,
Oksana® Foundation Team
