Ivan Oliver came up in Nilópolis, a city outside Rio de Janeiro. He started playing local bars, working with the sounds of samba and MPB that were around him. His song 'Agora Não Quero Mais' got some attention in 2005, and it became the thing people knew him for. He put out a few albums after that, like 'Luz do Sol' in 2007 and 'Vida Boa' in 2010.
He plays with a band that includes André Prando on drums, Bruno Migotto on bass, and Rodrigo Tavares on guitars. They've worked with other Brazilian musicians over time, including Gilberto Gil and Marisa Monte. The music is mostly straightforward pop with Brazilian rhythms, built around Oliver's voice and guitar.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
