Warren O’neill started playing guitar at age 14 in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. Although starting off with lessons under teacher Roger Treble, he essentially taught himself the greater part of his musical vocabulary and in doing so created his own style and approach to the guitar. Early influences included Eric Clapton and Dire Straits but he soon found himself being immersed by such guitarists as Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck and Steve Vai among many others. He is always searching to break new ground both musically and sonically. He migrates from acoustic to electric guitar effortlessly and also plays several other instruments including bass guitar, keyboards and dulcimer.

Warren went on to play in a number of successful local bands. One band named “Naked Soul “won various battle of the bands, broke attendance records in venues around Melbourne and amassed a loyal diehard following. They released 2 CDs and a DVD before singer Justin Fitzgerald died of mysterious circumstances in 2006.

Warren also played the part of “Osama Van Halen” in the Multi Media Political Satire band “New Horizons In Violence”. They had widespread international exposure in their quest to rid the world of the Bush administration through dance and song.  Their CD and DVD is available through Mission Accomplished Records. Warren in addition has played in other bands, touring parts of Australia and doing session work for artists such as Patrick McMahon and high profile studios around town such as Metropolis. He has played on numerous recordings for Film and TV and has released several CDs and DVDs with various bands.

2009 see’s the release of Warren’s first instrumental album “Dreamspell”. It’s an acoustic based album and all songs are written, preformed, mixed and produced by Warren himself. The album is Warren’s first venture into instrumental acoustic based music. It is more of a relaxed nature and is really intended to be something that calms the nerves, soothes the soul and works fantastically at creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. As the name suggests, the album can also act as a lullaby and can be an elixir for insomniacs, lulling them into a dream state. Warren believes in the healing power of music and has set out to make a record which is soothing and has a positive effect on the listener when played at the right time.

In addition to completing and promoting his Dreamspell Album, Warren is currently playing with the world music influenced trio “Majic Bus” and the rock band “Chameleon”. He is looking forward to touring and recording with the band. He is also already planning his next instrumental CD. It will be going in a more flamboyant direction incorporating flamenco and more roots type music. It will be more percussive and incorporating more exotic instruments such dulcimer, didgeridoo, sitar and auto harp.
