Beyond the stage, Oliver was selected as a solo performer at UCLA’s oldest musical tradition, Spring Sing, where he performed an original song. He recently released his first fully produced single “The Void” under the name Oliver Elliott and continues to develop his voice as a songwriter. He is also passionate about a cappella and currently serves as the president and choreographer of Bruin Harmony, UCLA’s premier all-male a cappella group, after previously holding roles as business and marketing manager. With the group, he competed in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA), where he was awarded Outstanding Soloist.

Oliver is a frequent collaborator on new works, including the world premiere workshops of The Grand Hotel Tartarus, DisTopia, The Golden Record, and Yesterday Once More. He also works at Pacific Resident Theater as a social media manager and house management intern, where he supports the development of intimate, thought-provoking productions. In addition to his work in theater and music, Oliver has amassed a small but mighty following of 43K and 1.2M likes on TikTok, where he enjoys creating content and sharing his art with a wider audience. Whether performing, writing, leading, or making playful yet heartfelt videos, Oliver is always looking for new ways to connect and create.
