Oliver Malcolm

In the organizer's words:

With praise from the New York Times, NME, CLASH, Time Magazine and many other relevant media outlets behind him, Oliver Malcolm is striving for an experimental pop sound. His single "Switched Up" from the 2021 EP "Are You Living In The Real World?" is one of the artist's most successful tracks with more than 11 million streams on Spotify alongside "Kevin" and "Baby Don't Go". What unites all the songs is his unconventional take on modern pop music, which has landed him in editorial playlists such as Spotify's "Anti-Pop" and thrilled off-pop fans worldwide. As support for Thirty Seconds To Mars, the singer and multi-instrumentalist toured Europe in October. With his current EP "When Lightning Strikes, Wear It" in his luggage, Oliver Malcolm will be coming to Berlin's Privatclub on March 4 for an intimate and unique concert.

Oliver Malcolm was born in Sweden in 1999, but moved to the UK with his family at the age of two, where he discovered his fascination for Eminem and his song "Lose Yourself" at an early age via a friend's Sony PSP. Influenced by Dr. Dre, Tupac and MGMT, Oliver Malcolm bought himself a DJ deck at the age of 12 and taught himself how to DJ, before building his first beats with a cracked version of Logic. After many moves within the UK, his family moved to Los Angeles, whereupon Oliver Malcolm moved to Little Armenia at the age of 16 and concentrated on his music. From the release of his debut single "Outside" (2020) to the single "Rolling Stone" and the EPs "Are You Living In The Real World?" (2021), "Act One" and "Act Two" (both 2022) to the current EP "When Lightning Strikes, Wear It", the now 25-year-old musician has continued to develop his sound. Songs such as "The Big Leagues" or "Cause Of You" reveal influences from hip-hop, rap, off-pop, funk and disco and point to the creative potential that Oliver Malcolm's musical vision promises in the future.
