Oliver Tree

Oliver Tree Nickell (Born June 29, 1993) is a vocalist, producer, and accomplished scooter rider from Santa Cruz, California. On March 27, 2016, Oliver released a Vine video titled "I'm Turbo," marking the debut of his Turbo persona.

Before his viral hit “When I’m Down,” an upbeat dance track with collaborator Whethan, he released music under the name Tree, which led to a contract with Atlantic Records in 2017.

The genre-defying Alien Boy EP, offering a first look at Oliver’s potential, followed the next year and accumulated tens of millions of streams. Known for his extravagant music videos and comedic social media clips, Oliver joined The Chainsmokers on select tour dates and performed at numerous festivals, drawing attention to his unique and unconventional fashion style.

The Huffington Post called Oliver "an enigma of genre," noting that while he's primarily a pianist, guitarist, and producer, his real-instruments-based production blends rap, male and female vocal harmonies, poetic lyrics, strings, and a substantial amount of synth...

Oliver’s debut album, Ugly is Beautiful, released on July 17, achieved remarkable attention, reaching the top 3 on the iTunes charts within 24 hours of its release.

He followed up with a Deluxe edition of Ugly is Beautiful released almost a year later on May 28th, 2021.
