About Botchok | Simi Valley Violinist

Maestro Angelito (Lito) is a violin instructor in various after-school music programs and has recently established the Student Orchestra of Los Angeles (SOLA) to pool young violinists and provide them with enriching experience in music. He also performs regularly at different assisted living facilities and nursing homes as a music therapist, believing that music is a powerful tool to relax people and relieve them of their pain.
 
Although he has a business degree, he pursued and made a lucrative career as a violinist and musician. His orchestral experience includes membership in the Filipino American Symphony Orchestra (FASO), Manila Symphony Orchestra (MSO), Manila Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO), Manila Chamber Orchestra (MCO), San Miguel Philharmonic Orchestra (SMPO), Laredo Symphony Orchestra (Texas) and Valley Symphony Orchestra (Los Angeles). In the 1990s, he has spent a good number of years around the world as a musician on board cruise ships such as the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Holland America Lines and Crystal Cruises.
 
Botchok has years of experience playing as a solo violinist for weddings, corporate functions, and private events in Southern California. His wide repertoire of songs covers music for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hour, dinner reception, and other special events that call for live music and entertainment.

FAQ, Booking and General Policy

When planning music for a corporate event, it is important to know the location, setting, and mood of the event. For casual settings, we recommend contemporary music by our Modern Duo to play background music during a dinner or a luncheon. We recommend our string quartet to play background music for formal events such as gala dinners, formal fundraisers, etc. If a corporate event needs live entertainment, our Variety live band and Jazz band is a good choice.

Yes, we provide music for wedding cruises! We do ask our clients to inform us in advance about wedding location and necessary accommodations. Our Los Angeles Solo Violinist, Botchok, has years of experience as a musician on board cruise ships such as the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and Crystal Cruises. We would love to be at your event, whether on land or at sea!

It depends on the event and your preference. For wedding ceremonies, prelude music often run for 30 minutes, which is an average of about 10 songs.

    Santa Barbara Court House, Santa Barbara, California

    The Ocdamia Strings group are true professionals. Margie was incredibly helpful & responsive to our many questions & sent us an absolutely incredible violinist for our event. Lito was AMAZING! His arrangement was a perfect fit for the occasion & really set the mood we were looking for. We can’t say enough good things about the team over at Ocdamia Strings & we will definitely be using them again in the future.

    Greystone Mansion, Beverly Hills, California

    Ocdamia Music Group helped us realize our wedding vision!! Our solo violinist, Lito, was so wonderful and the music made our intimate ceremony at the Greystone Mansion come together in such a beautiful way! Lito went above and beyond, and it was apparent that he was passionate about music and making people happy. We had chosen pop and rock songs for our processional and recessional songs, etc. for our non-traditional wedding, which Lito played amazingly! He even played additional songs similar to the ones we picked during our family portraits, which he didn’t have to do, but it definitely provided a nice ambiance and was greatly appreciated! Margie, the owner who coordinates everything, was so gracious and very responsive! I highly recommend Ocdamia Music Group if you want a smooth and professional process with nice and talented musicians!!
