For Oscar Hvala, music is a pastime and a passion. The Aussie broker, based in Victoria, started out in music at an early age, and after taking a break during his busy career and family days, he returned to music once more in 2000. Appearing at open mics, local spots and on the radio, the solo singer performs a wide range of cover songs and originals on acoustic guitar.
For Hvala, music is a great contrast to broking. “It’s a disconnect with broking,” he says. “Broking is very much about numbers, and it’s pressured … time is of the essence. [Playing music] gives you that emotional release which is a step above simply listening to music … not only can you listen to the number but you can also perform it. It gets you away from the everyday broking side of things. It’s a totally different experience.”
