Oliver Mascarenhas is an up and coming 15 year old singer - songwriter and in his first competition - Open Mic UK he made it through to the grand finals at the Indigo2 and opened the show with two of his own compositions! He is now in a bigger competition for unsigned artists - Live and Unsigned. He has won a place at the regional finals, where he will sing a cover as well as one of his originals.
Oliver taught himself guitar when he was 13 when he was home educated and has been writing songs ever since. Last September Oliver got a music scholarship to a private independent school but he has now decided to return to home education as that seems to work better for him and his music.
Oliver definitely has a retro style in terms of his music and image. He is a unique artist and is getting his name around in the music industry. He will also be performing at the 2012 Olympics, leading a local youth group.Things are really kicking off with Oliver's music and for him opening the show at the 02 is just the beginning. He possesses a unique on stage charisma and loves engaging with the audience and the fact that he is 15 years old and 6 ft1 with curly hair definitely adds to his stage presence!
Oliver is currently gigging every Monday at the Parkview Club in North London.
Oliver has been approached by an independent producer who liked what he saw and heard, he also met with the director/producer of a major label and they are both very interested in working with him.
The regional finals of Live and Unsigned will take place on the 17th of April to buy tickets to support Oliver please go to the Live and Unsigned website.
