Born and raised in New York, olive stays true to his German and Haitian roots, visiting both countries frequently.  A mélange of the three cultures, to include the U.S., influences his musical journey, which he started around the age of five when he began to learn intricate piano pieces by ear, unknowingly following the family tradition of both grandfathers, and writing his first songs at age seven.  Since then, olive has been exploring various genres, leading him to express his views, experiences and emotions authentically by writing and recording his own tracks and collaborating with local artists, such as Deem Spencer and Sam Palmer.
