Cousin Mark Mostovoy was conductor & founder of Philadelphia’s Concerto Soloists and cousins Stephanie Greenberg & Laurie Sonsino are professional classical musicians. Octavia’s mother Sylvia was a concert pianist at the age of twelve. Octavia’s early exposure to artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, and the Motown family often influence what Octavia brings to her outstanding stage show, originals and recordings.

Influenced by Bob Dylan she purchased her first harmonica in 1966.
