Known as Oliver Tree, he was an artist, storyteller, singer, songwriter, producer, director, editor, actor, filmmaker, entertainer, traveller, and creative force; he had just performed in São Paulo as part of his 7-continent world tour."They went on to explain that, from a young age, Tree had demonstrated the "most astonishing and creative drive" and had started producing music and drawings at just five. In his teens, he DJ'ed under the name Kryph, opening for artists in the dance scene.He first shot to fame aged just 17, working with Skrillex and Zeds Dead, using the pseudonym Tree. Three years later, he released his debut independent record, Spilling Branches, and also joined the band Irony, taking lead vocals and guitar.His family added: "Oliver had a deep curiosity about the world and wanted to experience every country and culture. Over the past two years, Oliver was a global citizen, visiting over 100 countries: eating local cuisine; connecting with locals of all kinds; participating in ceremonies; giving concerts; and recording music on his laptop. He went to the Middle East, sailed in Antarctica and became an Honorary Maasai tribal chief in Tanzania."Oliver was more than a musician; he was a true artist in every sense of the word, seeing the world as a stage for his performance art. He pushed boundaries in every form of media and life. Oliver was on a mission to bring the world together through art and inspiring other artists to create. Being a forward thinker, Oliver created a non-profit entitled Dr. Oliver Tree's Extremely Epic Art Grant for Baby Geniuses. He wanted all of his money to go into funding other aspiring artists in all facets: music, film, installation and performance art projects."Having previously been signed by Atlantic Records, Tree announced earlier this year that he'd departed from the major label and his last record, Love You Madly Hate You Badly, would be released via his own label, Alien Boy Records.Article continues belowThe album was released on April 24.
