Oliver Rodley bio
Oliver Rodley...
Hailing from Los Angeles, Oliver Rodley's recordings were initially influenced by Nujabes, JDilla, and lo-fi artist, Ta-Ku. As a pianist, producer, DJ, electrical engineer, and studio engineer, Rodley's music evolved finding inspiration in the music of electronic artists Jon Hopkins, Max Cooper, Thom Yorke and more recently, the electronic minimalist composers Ólafur Arnalds and Max Richter. On the EDM side, he is inspired by producers and artists like John Summit, DJ Snake, Imanbek, Skrillex, Kygo, Cheat Codes, deadmau5, Kascade, Sophie and the Giants, Tiesto, and Calvin Harris: Oliver likes tropical deep house in particular.
On his first album, "Sweet Green Tea," Rodley pursued his vision of lofi, chillhop, boom-bap, and even cool and soul jazz. His recent EP, "January," pays homage to the vibe of the fall and winter seasons, in the spirit of jazz great Bill Evans and pianist Vince Guaraldi (of "Charlie Brown" fame). But, his current focus is in the EDM space, starting with the new singles, "Under Your Skin," "Paradise," and "All These Faces," bringing an entirely new danceable, club-focused energy to Rodley's music. And, while the new single "Gimme That" reminds us of Oliver's funk roots, Rodley has made a decisive shift into the EDM space - and, he's loving it. Regardless, at his core Oliver Rodley is a musician and a lover of music: he creates songs and soundscapes that move him and his audience and feed his desire to push musical boundaries.
