Oliver Rodley bio
Oliver Rodley...
Originally from Texas and now living in Los Angeles, Oliver Rodley's recordings were initially influenced by Nujabes, JDilla, and lo-fi and chill-hop artists like Ta-Ku, Idealism, Potsu, and Biocratic. As a producer, pianist, DJ, electrical and studio engineer, Rodley's music evolved and he found 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.
In 2024, Rodley began to focus on EDM space; inspired by producers and artists like John Summit, DJ Snake, Imanbek, Skrillex, Hayla, deadmau5, Fisher, Tiesto, and AJ Slater, he gradually began focusing on composing and producing Electronic Dance Music. He is big fan of the tropical deep house genre. In the EDM space, his singles, "Under Your Skin," "Paradise," and "All These Faces," bring a dance-able, club-focused energy to Rodley's music. So, while the 2024 single "Gimme That" reminds us of Oliver's funk roots, Rodley's shift into the electronic music space is decisive.
On his first album, "Sweet Green Tea," Oliver pursued his vision of lofi, chillhop, boom-bap hip-hop, 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).
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.
