Oliver Halvorsen
It’s hard to comprehend how drastically things have changed for artist Oliver Halvorsen, in just a couple of years. The singer/producer and multi-instrumentalist graduated with an Advanced Diploma from WAAPA and has since been making big waves in the Perth music scene. Already establishing himself has a dominant force in original music, Oliver’s work in various acts (Vorsen, Most Art, JCAL, etc.) has resulted in thousands of plays both online and across national and international radio stations. He played close to 200 shows in 2016 at a range of different venues, weddings and events making him both a dynamic and flexible performer perfect for almost any occasion.
Oliver’s voice and sound have been compared to the likes of Matt Corby, Ben Harper and Allen Stone, deriving from a rich acoustic/soul background. His passionate attitude towards music and extensive repertoire of favourites (both old and new) has kept him in high demand across Perth.
Oliver DJ’s regularly at events as an additional component to his live performances. He’s also part of the Marquee Duo and Marquee band that regularly perform at weddings and events.
'Best Musician Ever! Oliver was so friendly and helpful right from the first time I sent him an enquiry about his services. He was happy to communicate in a variety of different ways, and after speaking via email my husband and i meet with him face to face to discuss our music ideas for our wedding. Oliver was so accommodating and really listened to what we wanted. He learnt three songs especially for our wedding because they were special to us! On the day Oliver was so easy going and really went with the flow which was brilliant. All of our guests commented on how talented and friendly he was! Oliver was spectacular and added such a priceless dimension to our perfect wedding day! I would highly recommend him!’
