I have long been obsessed with creative writing and through this, I discovered songwriting, recording, production and composition of music for media. I am a believer in the near-magical power of language and strive to combine my love of storytelling with music.
I have a deep interest in music's universal and borderless nature and my work aims to contribute to the future's global music culture.
Oliver is pursuing a Bachelor's degree in performance and composition at California Institute of the Arts. He is a multi-instrumentalist, specialising as a vocalist. He also plays the piano, viola and the Koto (Japanese harp).
He has performed his original compositions in the United Kingdom, Burundi, Rwanda, Portugal, and the United States, including opening for Sudanese-Canadian artist Emmanuel Jal and Rwandan singer Meddy Saleh as well as collaborations with musicians from East-Africa including Deejay Pius and Amalon. He is currently studying Japanese music and the koto with Prof. Kozue Matsumoto and is the teaching assistant as well as a regular performer as part of her Japanese Music Ensemble.
His solo work, which he releases under the name 'Muco’ has been streamed over 1.5 million times worldwide and has been described as “charming”, “compelling”, featuring a “kaleidoscope of contrasts” by Come Here Floyd. DNÜ says Muco finds “a balance between being haunting and spiritual”, with “dreamy production making room for stunning vocals”. Earmilk calls his songwriting “dazzling” and “wistful" with music which “brushes away all your thoughts, leaving just enough space for its alluring lyrics”
