In this episode, I speak with Ramon Mañas Corbinos, the founder of Odisei Music and the creator of the world’s smallest and lightest electronic saxophone. He gets deep into the story of how everything got started after his music band stopped performing.
Who is Ramon Mañas Corbinos?
Ramon Mañas Corbinos was born and raised in Barcelona. He studied Industrial Design Engineering. His main passion is traveling, playing music, martial arts, and practicing motor sports such as Enduro.
He enjoys jamming with other musicians and tries to do it as often as possible while traveling. 6 years ago he started his own band where he played the drums. Nowadays he plays the saxophone in a Blues band.
He has always been really interested in entrepreneurship and has started several businesses in the past few years and the latest one is called Odisei Music where Travel Sax is our first product.
We set a target for €7000 to validate the idea (and hopefully raise some money), but we ended up meeting the target in 2hours and eventually raised €99,953! - @ramonmanas on @kickstarter #travel #music Click To TweetWhy Should You Listen to Ramon Mañas Corbinos?
