Oliver Tree Nickell, known professionally as Oliver Tree, is an American singer-songwriter, producer, rapper, comedian, and filmmaker whose artistic journey is anything but ordinary. Born on June 29, 1993, in Santa Cruz, California, Tree's music career took off in 2016 with the viral success of his song "When I'm Down," but he quickly became known not just for his music, but for his abiding and distinctive look—marked by his signature bowl cut, wide-leg JNCO jeans, and colorful windbreakers. His genre-bending sound blends elements of indie pop, alternative rock, electronic music, and hip-hop, creating an eclectic and irreverent musical style that resonates with a diverse audience.

Tree's artistry and persona are characterized by a blend of humor, satire, and a flair for the dramatic, often reflected in his extravagant music videos and public appearances. His debut studio album, "Ugly is Beautiful," released in 2020, showcased his aptitude for catchy hooks and whimsical lyricism that both pays homage to and parodies pop culture. As evidenced by the list of his most recent releases like "Alone In A Crowd" and the various remixes of "Miss You," Oliver Tree continues to experiment and reinvent his music, keeping fans on their toes with sped-up versions of his tracks and a diverse range of collaborations. His slightly off-kilter and deeply self-aware approach to artistry cement him as a quirky, yet prominent figure in the contemporary music landscape.
