1) Formed by Oliver “Oligee” Goldstein and Vaughn "U-Tern" Oliver, Oliver have found the beating heart inside the dance machine. Whether moving bodies at the world's biggest electronic festivals, or hand-crafting digital gems in the studio, the producer / DJ duo of U-Tern and Oligee are responsible for some of the funkiest, toughest, and most diverse dance music today.
After spending years writing, producing, DJing and digging for vinyl, U-Tern and Oligee linked up in LA to forge something groundbreaking. They took their shared '80s baby tastes - relentlessly groovy R&B, boombox worthy hip-hop, soaring electropop hooks - and mashed them together in remixes for everyone from Chromeo and Foster The People to Breakbot and techno godfather Juan Atkins. Original jams like "All Night" and "Dirty Talk" (supported by dance music luminaries like Alan Braxe and Busy P) took Oliver's back-to-the-future sound even further, while high-powered collaborations with A-Trak ("Disco Nap") and Destructo ("LA Funky") brought the duo to the festival circuit, where they kept hands in the air all summer.
With the release of their Fool's Gold EP Mechanical, Oliver push their hybrid sound to even funkier new horizons. The stadium worthy opener "MYB" perfectly segues into the moody strut of “Night Is On My Mind,” before shifting gears with the hands-in-the-air ecstasy of “Control” and riding off into the sunset on the title track’s cinematic pulse. With non-stop DJ sets on deck (complete with Oligee's live keyboard riffs) and even more new music, there's no telling where the beats will take them next. "Oliver is all over the map," says U-Tern. "But we're going to have a good time no matter what."
2) Born in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, William Oliver Swofford began singing as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the early 1960s. He was a member of two music groups: The Virginians and, later, The Good Earth.
Oliver's clean-cut good looks and soaring baritone were the perfect vehicle for his July 1969 #3 single "Good Morning Starshine", from the pop-rock musical Hair. In October 1969 Oliver reached #2 with Rod McKuen's melodious ballad "Jean", the theme from the Oscar-winning film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Oliver performed both hits on a number of TV variety shows and specials in the late 1960s, including the Ed Sullivan Show. Later recordings had much less commercial success: "Sunday Mornin'" peaked at #35 in December 1969, and "Angelica" stalled at #97 in April 1970. His follow-up "I Can Remember" from July 1970 missed the Hot 100.
Despite his vocal talents, Oliver could not sustain more hits and he later made a career in business. A short-lived attempt to team up with Karen Carpenter in the late 1970s was unsuccessful. In 1983, People magazine ran a feature article on Oliver, describing a happily married father who kept his distance from the music business. In the late 1990s Oliver was diagnosed with cancer, and he died in Shreveport, Louisiana, on the same date that Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Charles Schulz, and Tom Landry all died.
3) The Belgian Singer is the representative of Belium in Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song 'Shup Up'. He won Junior EuroSong 2008 in Belgium which gained him the ticket to Limassol in November 2008 to represent his nation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
4) The Romanian rock band's story begins in 2005, when after four years marked by major member changes, the band 41 shed its skin to reveal what we know today as Oliver: four experienced musicians who are not afraid to experiment, mercilessly blending their uncensored ideas into music. Oliver oozes passion, energy, poetry and the band spares no efforts in making live shows a real treat. And if you’re confused about their lyrics, this might mean you understand them.(Doru Puscasu - vocals, Mircea Moroianu - guitar, Horia Gridan - bass, Mihai Zorca - drums)
5) Born in Hong Kong. Formerly vocalist and guitarist from the band Little Beautiful Brand and becoming a solo singer-song-writer now.

The lyrics to Oliver's song "Loud" paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle filled with luxury, excess, and a bit of darkness. The singer describes themselves adorned with palm trees and angels, suggesting a sense of grandeur and divine presence surrounding them. They mention obtaining someone in their dreams, implying a sense of control and power in their relationships. Living like in a fairy tale but still facing challenges as hard as Balmain, a high-end fashion brand known for its edgy designs, reflects the juxtaposition of opulence and difficulties in their life.
The repeated imagery of "drip" on the singer, symbolizing wealth and style, contrasted with tears on the listener suggests a disparity in emotional states or perhaps a sense of causing pain to others. The mention of items from Milan hints at a glamorous lifestyle, yet the singer notes they have never been there, possibly highlighting a disconnect between their actual experiences and the image they project. The use of numerical codes like "044, 0352" adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the lyrics, leaving room for interpretation.
The second verse introduces a shift in the narrative, with references to smoking loud (high-grade marijuana) and a sense of caution about overindulging. The singer warns of potential consequences and mentions a past incident where someone lost their cash, indicating a theme of risk and vulnerability. The lyrics portray a sense of defiance and detachment from societal norms, suggesting a rebellious and carefree attitude towards authority.
The final verses delve further into themes of escapism and rebellion, with mentions of evading the police and engaging in illegal activities. The singer describes smoking heavily and avoiding detection, showcasing a sense of thrill-seeking behavior and living on the edge. The description of secret bases, drug intake, and criminal connections adds a layer of danger and intrigue to the narrative. Overall, "Loud" by Oliver captures a complex blend of excess, rebellion, and fantasy, offering a glimpse into a world where luxury and darkness intertwine.
