Bio
Felix Thiang is a jazz guitarist based in Melbourne, Australia.
As a music educator, Felix is actively teaching young musicians at the Auburn South Primary School as well as in his private studio, the Jazz Guitar Workshop. The Jazz Guitar Workshop and method was established to introduce intermediate and advanced guitarists to the jazz vocabulary in an intuitive and progressive manner.

Working closely with vocalist Bridgette Allen, Australia's Duchess of Jazz, Felix's own jazz musical, “Nice Work?”, was produced and presented as part of Bridgette's Bathroom to Broadway vocal workshop series.

Guitars and gear
Felix plays custom 6 and 7 string archtop guitars handcrafted by master luthier Gary Rizzolo of Rizzolo Guitars. Felix tunes the 7th string to a low A1.
Felix also currently gets his live sound by playing through a Henriksen Bud Six. This tiny 9x9x9 inch amplifier gives instant jazz tone when you plug in and fits on top of a piano when space is at a premium. It has the power to take on most small venues and when more is needed, Felix pair it with a Raezer's Edge 12" speaker cabinet. See if you can spot it in Live Shows picture gallery on this website.
