Career[edit]
Originally while under the pseudonym 'Kindle', Oliver has written, produced, and performed as a guitarist and keyboardist with bands such as Sohodolls, Modele, The Coolness, Client, Sarah Blackwood, and Hotel Motel (with Jorja Chambers and Marika Gauci). During that time, Radio Wolf was also remixing songs for Robots in Disguise, Miss Deringer, and Ladytron.
In 2014 Oliver was the record producer for three songs of ex-Sneaker Pimps artist Kelli Ali on her album 'Band of Angels'..[1]
Oliver moved to Canada in 2016 and joined with synth-pop singer Holly Dodson to tour together in 2018 through the United States and Canada under her musical band, Parallels. Together they wrote, composed, performed, and produced seven tracks for the 2020 film 'PROXIMITY', written and directed by Eric Demeusy. Their tracks on the album were described as "a blend of lush and romantic synth-pop with rock overtones paired with richly entrancing vocals and experimental sound design"[2]. In 2021 the song "Journey's End" from the 'PROXIMITY' soundtrack won Best Song by the Los Angeles Film Awards [3]
Radio Wolf's debut EP, Rock ‘n’ Roll Forever, was released on October 31, 2017[4] and featured guest vocals by previous collaborators; Marika Gauci (Hotel Motel), Kelli Ali (ex Sneaker Pimps), Holly Dodson (Parallels), and Sarah Blackwood (Dubstar, ex Client). [5]
Teaming up with German singer-songwriter NINA, in 2021 Radio Wolf co-wrote and produced two singles for her - "Gold Heart" and "Carnival Night". Wonderland magazine referred to Radio Wolf's production of "Carnival Night" as "masterful"[6]. NINA and Radio Wolf continue to team up and in 2024 released the single "My Dark", a song that includes elements of electronic music as well as rock 'n roll.
