OLIVER (Oliver Ottesen) is a Norwegian pianist and composer based in Oslo. A self-taught pianist, he composes by ear and intuition, often beginning with small melodic ideas that he describes as something to capture before they disappear.

Alongside music, he works as a chiropractor. Precision, presence, listening and touch are qualities that follow him from the treatment room into his music. The result is a contemporary neoclassical expression that is melodic, exposed and emotionally driven, moving between intimate detail, romantic warmth and dynamic cinematic development.

OLIVER debuted on 28 November 2025 with A Memory In Bloom, the opening chapter of Echoes We Leave Behind — a series of ten original piano compositions. The works were recorded on a Steinway & Sons D-274 at Rainbow Studio in Oslo, produced by Bjarne Stensli and mastered by George Tanderø.

OLIVER performs his own works as a solo pianist. His live format can be adapted from short 15–20 minute features to a full 45–60 minute solo concert. Based in Oslo, he is available for engagements across Norway.
