“A Los Angeles-based vocalist, producer, and sketch comedian, Oliver Tree brings a colorful, scooter-loving persona to his indie pop- and hip-hop-informed dance music. A native of Santa Cruz, Tree emerged in October 2016 as a featured performer on the single “Forget It” by hometown EDM musician Getter. That same month, he released his first collaboration with DJ Whethan, the compassion anthem “When I’m Down.” The song went viral, garnering millions of streams over the next year.” AllMusic.com Biography
3. TORO Y MOI
Saturday, November 2

“Toro y Moi was one of the first artists to be called chillwave due to the underwater, laid-back sounds of his 2009 single “Blessa,” but that tag was soon left behind as each subsequent record and project Chaz Bundick (later Chaz Bear) undertook headed off in an unpredictable direction. Whether digging into ’80s R&B, house music (on the Les Sins side project in 2014), space age pop, prog, or guitar-heavy power pop (as on 2015’s What For?), Bear is never satisfied to stick to a formula when he could experiment instead. Even when tapping into the mainstream zeitgeist, as on 2017’s modern R&B-inspired Boo Boo or the Daft Punk-meets-Frank Ocean 2019 album Outer Peace, Bear’s innate melodic gifts and sonic shapeshifting qualities always shine through.” AllMusic.com Biography
