OLIVER SOUTHGATE
I'm Oliver Southgate, a singer/songwriter from Essex, Uk. My songs are a mixture of Rock, Country and Blues, but whatever style I'm playing it is all about the music. The songs are like little philosophy chunks on life as I see it.My influences are Jack Johnson, Keith Urban, James Taylor. I write the songs on my acoustic guitar and then record them in my home studio.
I am trying to get my music heard as much as possible and do as many gigs as I can around the Essex area.
I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON....
I have just released my new album called Still Searching.MUSIC
