Oren Dashti

Oren Dashti is an acclaimed jazz pianist, composer, and arranger whose musical
footprint spans over two decades across Asia and Australia. Known for his profound
versatility and evocative performances, Oren’s artistry bridges the gap between
structured composition and absolute improvisational freedom.
Oren’s musical journey began at the classical keyboard, a foundation that later evolved into a
deep-seated passion for jazz, orchestral composition, and sophisticated ensemble arranging.
Having called Asia home for more than 20 years, his creative voice is uniquely shaped by the
cultures, philosophies, and aesthetics of the region-subtly weaving these influences into the fabric
of his music.
A seasoned international performer on festival and club circuits, Oren has commanded
stages in nearly every configuration imaginable, from intimate duos to roaring big
bands. His collaborative spirit is showcased in his self-produced YouTube series, Duos,
which features cross-cultural artistic partnerships with musicians from around the globe.
Beyond his extensive work scoring for television and leading his own jazz trio, Oren
currently performs with a selection of local bands alongside his solo project across
Western Australia, including recent performances at Perth’s renowned The Ellington
Jazz Club.
Yet, among all his musical endeavors, Oren’s truest passion lies in the solo piano
format. It is here, at the intersection of a single instrument and an audience, where he
finds the ultimate freedom to explore. Believing deeply in the healing, unifying power of
music, Oren creates a warm, welcoming space for listeners of all ages and
backgrounds, inviting them to share in a deeply personal and transformative sonic journey
