Saleh Hasan Oni was born on 1 August 1985; in Faridpur. He is of Bangladeshi descent and comes from a family of greater Comilla district, where musicians like Ustad Allauddin Khan, S.D. Burman, and R.D Burman have grown up. He is the eldest child of the family, with two younger brothers, Sunny and Sayem Hasan. His father Mr. Kamrul Hasan is a textile engineer and his mother Ruma Hasan is a home maker. His father played classical instruments and the two younger brothers are guitarists as well.
Being a self-taught musician he started playing the guitar at the age of 18. In an exclusive interview named "ONI MANIA" given to the episode magazine he says "Sunny (his younger brother) used to play the guitar and by seeing him, I used to play a little too, but as time passed by, I was getting more into the guitar, I got more serious and would actually spend 10 hours of my time on guitar each day. I became a guitar freak later on, there was this guy who used to live downstairs, who basically showed me my first guitar chords, that was it, I went with my life like that, with 7 chords only I would practice on my own, never had a teacher, would learn from magazines, books, and mostly what helped me was that I knew sa re ga ma from my dad, I would jam with TV, radio and I would play whatever I heard, so there it was, I sacrificed all my friends and all other recreations of life and would just concentrate on my playing and played till my fingers bled." His major influences are guitarists like Dimebag Darrel, Yngwie Malmsteen, Slash, and Paul Gilbert. .
His career started like any other typical underground musician. He worked his ways up, starting from the very basic to the top. The first band that he started playing with was called Illusive Dreams. He did his first ever live gig with them at RCC, the birthplace of tons of musicians in Bangladesh. He was soon asked to play in one of the then prominent underground bands called Dethrow. After that he started doing gigs with bands like Warfaze, Art Cell, Stentorian, Aurthohin at a very young age, just within 3 years of learning guitar. Feeling that the band wasn’t moving towards anything he had to make a move; he quit and was soon asked to join the band called Metal Maze. He stayed in the band for a year or so, and in the mean time he also joined the band called Vibe in the late 2005. After which he started recording Vibe's debut album "Chena Jogot"
