Osbanis was born in Havana, Cuba. He comes from a family of natural talent that taught him the best way to learn was by listening and watching. He graduated as a teacher of Cuban percussion from the Fernando Guanches Academy, where he later worked with several Cuban musicians and taught percussion to children and adults. He developed dance when he arrived in the UK, where the important thing to him was to feel everything you see, in music and dance. For that reason he says 'dance is to play and music is to live, so live to play'.
