Tête-à-tête Interview with Oliver Sean - Cluburb, Hyderabad 30th May 2011

Oliver Sean's music has a feel-good vibe that simply can't be ignored. Unsurprisingly, the charming musician's presence has the same effect – the chatty, lively, unassuming musician pulls you into a conversation, and leaves you with a smile. 

Oliver was in town to play the last show of the So Good India Tour at theHRC. We sat down with the man for a chat before his show. 

His last English-language album I Like It, which was a massive hit, was released back in 2003. "I had a hard time getting a recording deal for my last album. So I started my own company WOA Records, which stands for Wonder Oliver Artistic Records. I recordedI Like It from my bedroom. So I guess the first WOA office was my bedroom, and it was great! People loved the album!  I was incredibly lucky." 

Even though his second album So Good just came out, the man's been busy since his initial offering. Armed with an American-minted MBA, Oliver believes in taking charge of things. Once his own album was a hit, he started looking for other talented acts that needed a recording deal. "There is all this incredible talent without a recording deal. So I've been signing up bands who i like and think are promising, recording their work, taking them on tours in India." 

Oliver sees great potential in India for live music. The music industry here is obviously dominated by that little industry in Mumbai, but Oliver sees potential in India for good, live music and independent artists. "We have signed up more than 200 artists! Basically, when it comes to international independent music in India, it's just WOA Records! We bring international artists and take them on tours here. And all of it, without any sponsors! It's all WOA money. We barely break even. But it's been a lotta fun!" 

Oliver is a very DIY person. He even directed his latest video which released while he was on tour. His mom makes an appearance in the video as well. He's a teamplayer, who watches for his own. Besides signing up bands, he's also published a book that his mother had written, through WOA Publishing. (Yeah, we know, awww!)

Oliver moved to Goa when he was 7, grew up in Dubai and L.A. and now travels the world. So where does he call home? "For me, home is where my two dogs are, and they're in Goa. So that's where I call home."

What's next for the guy? "Well, I am off to finish the rest of my tour! India was the second leg. Dubai was the first. Now it's off to London. And I may be back in India in October for the WOA Tour!"

Oliver Sean, a True Rockstar by Varsha Bansal, Express News Service - 28th May 2011

From being a singer and musician to directing his own music video now, international artiste, Oliver Sean has come a long way in the music industry.  The New Indian Express catches up with the self-made star, who was in Bangalore to perform as a part of a tour in India at the Hard Rock Café. 

Looking like the quintessential rock star, Oliver Sean was chilling with some coffee on a couch at the Hard Rock Cafe with a bandana tied on his curly blond hair sometime before his concert.

Ask him about his how did musical interests grow into him as a child, and the versatile singer bursts out talking, "Music was in me since my childhood — I wrote my first song when I was eight years old and started my own band when I turned 13. I think I have been very lucky when it comes to parental support — my mum always was and still is very encouraging."

Since then he has surely come a long way in this hard-to-survive music industry and can be safely termed as a self-made star. Apart from singing and song writing, Oliver has also founded India's largest independent music company, WOA International, which has now become an umbrella for many upcoming independent artists who don't have many sources.

"I have never wanted people to help me. If a label doesn't like my music, so what, I will create my own freakin' label. And that's what I did! Later, I realised that it would've been so much easier for me if some company was ready to release my album. So, I decided to help the independent musicians who I like and think are promising. Now, we've opened the Indian market to around two hundred international artists," reveals Oliver, who is an independent musician, but also has a three-piece band.

But why only three members?

"Along the years, the line-up of my band has changed drastically. There was a time when I had eight members. But, later, it dawned on me that my music sounds much better when it is minimalistic."

A mainstream sound with strong acoustic notes, an Oliver Sean song can be distinctly recognised by the fans. Ask him about what genre would his music fall under, and Oliver answers very specifically, "I would like to call my music as adult contemporary pop rock fused with slamming acoustic guitar," continuing, "Even though my songs are very mainstream, they have a certain acoustic element, which makes it different from the others and puts my stamp on it."

Having spent his early years in Goa, this Portuguese-Goan-Italian singer-songwriter-producer, now keeps moving around between India, Dubai and USA. But, for him Goa is still home. "Goa is my home. I even have my dogs there. Whenever I visit Goa, it is usually to chill and have a vacation," confesses the musician, who has just come out with his 3rd album 'So Good'.

With success trailing him from all sides, does he want to try his luck in Bollywood? " Well, I did music for a Hindi movie, 'Cutting Chai, Dreams High', which did not release, unfortunately. I also did a Hindi pop album 'Darna Chod Do', which didn't sound like Hindi at all. I was so embarrassed about it, it took me 14 days to get the pronunciation right!"

A musician who solely believes in playing original music, does play a few covers sometimes, just for his audiences. "I play classics, but add my touch to them. I would not play covers of contemporary musicians. Why would I want to publicise a band I am in competition with?" questions the musician.

After capturing the international audiences, Oliver is now touring India, to mesmerise the music lovers here and gain some fan base. "It is weird that I belong to India and have more fans internationally. This tour is my attempt to make some fans here. If you get a fan through a live concert, that fan is for life," says Oliver, before signing off.

Oliver Sean's an independent producer - The Times Of India



'Slamming acoustic guitars and soulful vocals that wrap themselves around you, Oliver Sean is your one-man ensemble for a groovy evening' - Times of India, 26th May 2011



I was writing songs by the time I was 10 and playing in a band when I was 13. There was never any doubt in my mind that music was what I would do for the rest of my life," says Oliver. "The very first music album I bought with my own allowance was by AC/DC. That's The Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll is the greatest rock song ever written in my opinion. They define my idea of rock."



Currently touring the country promoting a new album, Oliver's done very well for himself on the international circuit. Having been nominated for music awards with the likes of Robbie Williams and John Mayer, he's a respected name in the global music industry. "I even made it to the top of the world music charts," he laughs adding, "I could hardly believe it because my music is catchy and far too mainstream for that! It's the kind of music you'd like to hear at a club, not on a world music chart!"
Catchy it certainly is and very reminiscent of Status Quo, Mark Knopfler, U2 and Bryan Adams, as he combines his unique style with all his musical influences. "Clapton was my idol growing up," claims Oliver. "I used to spend hours listening to his albums, playing those riffs with him, learning his technique. He's the musician I want to perform with more than any other. Then there's Jim Morrison — his stage presence is unbelievable," says Oliver.
Even though he works out of Dubai, Oliver has always called Goa home. "I went to school here and grew up here, it will always be home to me," he reveals. This only makes it even more surprising that his music hasn't made waves in India, yet. "I'm an independent producer," Oliver states. "The kind of money backing a Robbie Williams or a John Mayer is so different from what's backing me. But India's a key market for me now. I'm touring extensively to promote my album here. I want the acclaim I get everywhere else here, too."
Music aside, Oliver's a man of many passions, filmmaking coming second only to his guitar. Having just directed his own music video, Oliver is very excited indeed about making his first foray into direction. "It's been very well received so far and its something I've always wanted to do," he claims.
What with touring all over the world, helming a production studio in Dubai and making videos to make, Oliver Sean has his hands full and here's hoping they'll stay that way.

Oliver Sean's 'Movies' is Top of the OTC UK Radio Show


Oliver Sean's hit song 'Movies is the top song and 'One To Watch For' song of the NUA 'Off The Chart' Radio Show in the United Kingdom.

London, United Kingdom - 28th May 2011 - OTC Radio, one of the UK's biggest radio stations, today featured Oliver Sean's hit song 'Movies' and 'Getting Around' from his new album 'So Good' (W.O.A Records) on their weekend show titled 'The NUA Show with Jay Adkins' that features new songs by artists around the world every weekend. This week's 'One to watch out for' title by OTC (off the chart) radio was given to Oliver Sean's new hit song 'Movies' after receiving a phenomenal response from fans around the world including India, Philippines, Dubai and Europe during the 3 hour live broadcast from Kidderminster, Worcestershire in the UK.  

The song 'Movies' is currently creating waves globally being a featured music video on International music channel Vh1 as the 'India Rules' and 'Exclusive' video on the Vh1 India channel and is currently heard on over 250 radio stations in the United States. With the song hitting the top spot on the OTC 'NUA' show in the UK today it marks a perfect start to the Oliver Sean So Good Tour 'London Leg' which is to kick off this July.  

The 'So Good' Album was released by the International Rockstar Oliver Sean on the 11th of April following which the 'So Good' Ten month tour kicked off. The Dubai Leg of the tour completed successfully this April and the India Leg of the tour recently completed on the 26th of May with a huge media and fan response for the entire duration of the tour in Dubai and India. Till date the 'So Good' Tour has seen Oliver Sean performing across prominent venues like the Hard Rock Cafe's across India who were the official venue partners of the tour in India and the Fridge in Dubai, including live shows and performances on major TV networks including MBC and Dubai One that hosted special Oliver Sean shows on their TV channels. The tours across Dubai and India has also witnessed a huge fan following and extensive media coverage by major publications, radio stations and TV networks with Vh1 India coming in as the official channel partner for the music video of the song 'Movies' which is now a chart topper.  

"The Oliver Sean So Good Tour is one of the biggest and most extensive tours we have undertaken" says W.O.A International Marketing Director and EVP, Wanda Alvares, "W.O.A International is known for its annual India Tour's and various artist tours that we organize for our top artists from the W.O.A Roster but we have always focused our tours within Asia and Middle East, with Europe and US etc being handled by other labels and management our artists work with, however this tour for Oliver Sean is the first time that we have decided to handle the entire tour across Dubai, India, London, Germany, China and the US by teaming up with excellent partners like The Hard Rock Cafe, The Fridge, Vh1 India and the media in general who are supporting Oliver Sean and his new album to the max, without them this tour would not have been as successful as it is turning out to be"  

The song 'Movies' is currently a featured music video on Vh1 India as the 'India Rules' music video all this month. An interesting aspect of this tour and album promotions has been the special 'Oliver Sean - So Good' contests which have been a major feature that the fans have been enjoying. The 'Oliver Sean - So Good' contests have till date been held across all the Hard Rock Cafe's in India, MUST 107.8 FM and Dubai One TV Network's 'Twenty Something Show'. The Vh1 'Oliver Sean - So Good' contest is to begin on the 30th of May on Vh1 India and is expected to receive a huge response from fans due to the popularity of the 'Movies' music video on the International music channel in India.  

'Movies' will also be the featured song next week, the 4th of June, on the NUA OTC Radio Show with Jay Adkins in the UK, where 'Movies' being the 'One To Watch Out For' song will be the track that starts off the weekend show as the top song of the week on OTC Radio in the UK at 4PM GMT.

The launch party will see the who's who of the music, literary, art and fashion world in this region coming together to celebrate Oliver Sean's new release that Oliver Sean fans worldwide have been looking forward to. 

The album will be released officially at the party by Goa's Minister for Power Mr. Alexio Sequeira and Author/Animal Activist Ms. Wanda Alvares, followed by a rare unplugged performance by Oliver Sean. 

"This launch has been in the works since January when we decided to release the new Oliver Sean album on the 11th of April and all stops have been removed to take his new album to the world" says Pete Saunders, V.P Artist & Repertoire, W.O.A International "we decided to have the official launch party in Goa instead of Dubai, LA or London because we believe the setting here in Goa will be perfect to release the album of one of rock music's most chilled out Rock Star" 

The new Oliver Sean album is being supported by Vh1 who will be premiering the first music video, for the song 'Movies' from the 'So Good' album which is expected to be released to coincide with the artist's 'So Good Tour' (India Leg) in May. The Oliver Sean 'So Good Tour', kicking off this month, will see the rocker performing in Dubai, India, China, UK and the US besides additional regions being added in October and November. 

"This is my best work till date and as usual has been written, composed and produced by me with excellent musicians performing with me on this album" says Oliver Sean, "the launch is going to be a great party and Im excited about the unplugged session Im going to be doing at the event for all of my guests" 

The songs from the album have already started airing on commercial radio stations worldwide with MUST 107.8 FM in India going all out to promote the album as a run up to the launch happening in Goa. The new single 'Movies' from the album is already getting extended rotation on various stations and an Oliver Sean contest is being planned on 107.8 FM all through the month of April. The first single and title track from this album was released during the albums preview stage in 2010 and reported over 2.5 million downloads. 

The tracks from the album include the platinum reported track 'So Good', 'Movies' which is to be the first music video of this album and is the artist's personal favorite, 'Alone' a song written by Oliver Sean for his mother and dedicated to single mothers worldwide, 'Come One Move On' a blues oriented modern blues rock song that Oliver Sean's fans of his previous hits like 'Tonite' will be looking forward to, 'Getting Around' a self reflective song by the artist and one of the more harder songs, another song on the album is called 'Just wanna be me' where the artist has subtly fused the sitar on a very modern day sound reminiscent to John Mayer and the last track on the 'So Good' album is the classic Bob Dylan song 'Knockin on heaven's door' which Oliver Sean has recorded Live & Acoustic and is one of the most requested songs at Oliver Sean concerts by his fans, who will be thrilled to see this classic added to the new Oliver Sean album. 

With some of the most prominent publications doing features and stories on Oliver Sean in the coming month and Vh1 premiering the brand new music video 'Movies' including running a 'So Good' contest on Vh1 India to coincide with the artist's world tour, the new album by Oliver Sean is set to be the artists biggest release yet.

Platinum Selling Rock Artist is “So Good”

Oliver Sean debuts his U.S. media junket to promote the release of his latest disc, So Good.


North Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) March 31, 2011

Internationally acclaimed musician, Oliver Sean, is taking his brand of popular music global. Already recognized alongside names like John Mayer, Kylie Minogue and Ashanti, Sean has committed to a world-wide tour through W.O.A. Records, with a U.S. and International focused media campaign headed up by JumpStart Ink.

Oliver Sean's name in music is synonymous with success. His mainstream sound is popular midst the rock, pop, and adult contemporary audiences. Oliver Sean's work has been certified Platinum and his persona seems to be ever growing.

On April 11th 2011, Oliver Sean is continuing his trend of success by contributing his latest album, So Good, to the international music industry. The album is a decadent tribute to the artist's daring lyrics complimented by audacious acoustic guitars.

So Good offers subtle global appeal while packaged by a heartthrob in singer/songwriter Oliver Sean. The single "So Good" had over 2.4 million downloads in just three days of the disc's preview stage. The title track also obtained play on over two hundred and fifty U.S. based FM radio stations. His acoustic 'LIVE' version of Knockin on Heaven's Door is just one of many Oliver Sean's videos to obtain airplay on VH1 & MTV.

Oliver Sean's background far exceeds the dime a dozen acts currently flooding the independent market. Sean is fully supported by the highly respected W.O.A. Records. His background as an artist includes holding a top ten spot on MTV's international charts, being nominated for album of the year, being named as one of the top forty-four global successes in music – while sharing print space with Michelle Branch, and hosting distribution deals with Times Music and BMG. In addition, Oliver Sean's work has been commissioned by the French Government for use in the country's global tourism campaign for the MASSIF region.

The media doesn't act as a smokescreen for Oliver Sean. There are plenty of other artists who rely on heavy media spin to allow room for their lack of talent. Oliver Sean is the music industry's best kept secret… but not for long. His media viability mixed with his true ability to write and perform music is already generating preview buzz around So Good. E+, Gulf News is singing the album's praises. Stuff Magazine said "Oliver Sean's a name to look out for. His single 'So Good', the run-up to a soon expected full-length album, managed to garner 350,000 plays and downloads within two hours of being made available as a free download."

As Oliver Sean gears up for a ten month international tour, he joins the ranks of Grammy nominees, Emmy Award winners, and Academy Award participant clients of the prestigious media firm, JumpStart Ink. The selective company is proud to add Oliver Sean, and W.O.A. Records, to their list of exclusive clientele. The partnership is just another accomplishment for Helene Vece with JumpStart Ink, whose clients work alongside infamous producers such as Jack Douglas (Double Fantasy with John Lennon) and Jim Wirt (No Doubt, The Rocket Summer, JACK'S MANNEQUINN, Fiona Apple, Incubus, Elliot Minor).

A review copy of So Good, live show media credentials, and an interview with Oliver Sean are available to qualified media upon request.
