Singer songwriter Oliver Tree's music is a mix of indie rock and dance beats. Most of his success to date has been online. But now that he's on a major label, he could have chart success. He was born Oliver Tree Nickell June 29, 1993 in Santa Cruz, CA. He first recorded as Tree in 2010. He sent out demos to producers and then he self released the album Splitting Branches which led to a deal with the Belgian label R&S Records. After releasing the 2013 EP Demons, Nickell decided to return to school and study music technology at California Institute of the Arts. After graduating, Nickell signed with Atlantic Records and released the 2018 EP Alien Boy as Oliver Tree. He directs his own videos as he writes and directs comedy. Nickell toured to support the EP. Hurt was first released as a single in 2018. Then it appeared on the 2019 EP Do You Feel Me? and then the 2020 album Ugly Is Beautiful. Nickell wrote and produced Hurt with Ethan "Whethan" Snorek who is also signed to Atlantic. These two have worked together on several songs. Hurt reached #4 on the Alternative Airplay chart. This album was only released as a digital download. Nickell released his latest album Cowboys Don't Cry last year. He recently released a new single which indicates that a new album is coming.
