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. Released two solo records "Grace" and "Freddie and King" under 89268 in Hong Kong. working on his third album which will also be his first ever chinese album.

Oliver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every word I say is a bullet I spray
Stay out my way.
When I take aim, you know I don't play
Stay out my, stay out my, stay out my way
Fuck ghost writer.
I'm a ghost rapper.Cuz no one's heard of me. No cap
cnd it's hurting me but it don't matter
I'll keep on sluring these dope raps.
This BeerD beat is a toe tapper.
Showing you drips like a broke tap.
That I am the best but don't flatter
Me when you see. That's a cold fact
Caught in traps I had hope shattered.
No laughs, I was so trapped.
I have no cash. I am no trapper.
You're only here cuz of Coke wraps.
I flow tracks, I'm a goat rapper.
Happy for now but it won't last
I'll just keep talking this goat chatter
Cus I swore that I would never go back
So watch the goat natter.
Praising himself pat his own back.
cnd to those who made my hope shatter
I swore I'd come and get my own back.
Starving hungry but I don't fast
Hunting you down tryna close the gapI just talk in my own patter.
Schooling fools I'm in my own class.
Some of you rappers have no class.
cnd no bars. You're flow is trash
Just know that, I'm so gassed
I talk so much heat that I spoke ash
Like C02 my flows gas.
My flow so sharp like broke glass
My flow's smoke like blow backs
I'm just blowing smoke up my own ass.
Sooo....
Stay out my way
Every word I say is a bullet I spray
Stay out my,
When I take aim, you know I don't play
Stay out my, stay out my, stay out my way
Hindsight talking delirious,
So please don't take me serious.
Tone weary, flow mysterious.
So it's no homo when you query us.
cn aquarius cus I had war-t'-bare
But don't watch that bar I got more prepared
I'm on watch like a guard with a mortar flare
cnd I'll light this bitch, Guy Fawkes is here.
I'll scorch the earth with one match, for real
That's how fire works, like a Katherine wheel
I might ig-nite, so one last appeal
Don't put me on blast bitch that's the deal.
Don't gas me up, that's a catastrophe.
One spark, I rock it like Master P
I'm a star that's not from your galaxy
But I'm here and you ain't seen the last of me.
Hindsight showing is mastery
I am the last laugh, satisfactory
I'm the gaffer at this factory,
So any gaffs you make, come back to me.
I'm on job non stop, Roxanne, Police
Cannot stop me on this nasty spree
Cus I kill these beats when I'm asked to speak
Its like jack the ripper when he's at his peak.
............cnd that's peak!!!
I need to get paid, like last week.
Being broke's no good, if you ask me.
Like a vegan I'm down to my last p.
........so that's me.
cnd before I go, one last thing.
I keep having these mad dreams
cnd I wrote this track whilst fast asleep.
Sooooo.....
Stay out my way.

I'm exaggerating and bragging about myself
Hindsight talking delirious,
Reflecting on the past with a confused and distorted perspective
So please don't take me serious.
I don't expect to be taken too seriously
Tone weary, flow mysterious.
My voice carries a sense of exhaustion while my rap style remains enigmatic
So it's no homo when you query us.
Don't misunderstand my lyrics, there's no hidden meaning or intentions
Can't aquarius cus I had war-t'-bare
I can't escape my struggles and conflicts because I'm an Aquarius
But don't watch that bar I got more prepared
Don't worry about my hardships, I've become stronger and ready for anything
I'm on watch like a guard with a mortar flare
I'm vigilant and alert, like a sentinel with a signal flare
And I'll light this bitch, Guy Fawkes is here.
I'll bring chaos and create a revolution, just like Guy Fawkes did
I'll scorch the earth with one match, for real
I'll cause widespread damage and destruction effortlessly
That's how fire works, like a Katherine wheel
That's how intense and explosive fires can be, like a firework
I might ignite, so one last appeal
I have the potential to create a huge impact
Don't put me on blast bitch that's the deal.
Don't criticize or expose my flaws, that's the agreement
Don't gas me up, that's a catastrophe.
Don't exaggerate or praise me excessively, it's a disaster
One spark, I rock it like Master P
With just one small trigger, I can create an amazing impact like Master P
I'm a star that's not from your galaxy
I stand out and shine brightly, I'm not like others
But I'm here and you ain't seen the last of me.
I'm still present and my presence will continue to be felt
Hindsight showing is mastery
Looking back, it's evident that I have mastered my craft
I am the last laugh, satisfactory
I have the final victory and it brings me satisfaction
I'm the gaffer at this factory,
I'm the leader and boss in this industry
So any gaffs you make, come back to me.
Any mistakes or missteps you make will circle back to me
I'm on job non stop, Roxanne, Police
I'm constantly working and won't be stopped, just like in the song 'Roxanne' by The Police
Cannot stop me on this nasty spree
No one can prevent or hinder my successful and wild run
Cus I kill these beats when I'm asked to speak
I effortlessly dominate and excel when I'm given the opportunity to perform
It's like jack the ripper when he's at his peak.
I bring destruction and chaos in my prime, similar to Jack the Ripper's notorious killings
...and that's peak!!!
...and that's the highest level or pinnacle!
I need to get paid, like last week.
I'm in desperate need of money, it should have come already
Being broke's no good, if you ask me.
Being financially unstable is not desirable
Like a vegan I'm down to my last p.
I'm left with only a small amount of money, similar to a vegan running out of food options
...so that's me.
...so that's who I am
And before I go, one last thing.
Right before I leave, there's something important to mention
I keep having these mad dreams
I continue having wild and extraordinary dreams
And I wrote this track whilst fast asleep.
I composed this song while being in a state of deep sleep
Stay out my way
Don't interfere or get in my path
