Oliver, a native of Trinidad made his entrance into Trinidad’s music scene in 1962. He was a part of the group ‘SPARKS’ which was later renamed Wild Fire. During the period of the 60s into the 90s, Oliver contributed hit songs like “Sexy Lady You,” “My Life,” “Island Girl,” “Say A Little Prayer,” “Cryin’s Easy,” (Junior Byron), and “Tanty Say,” among many other notable compositions in various genres.  By the late 80s Oliver relocated to the US and has since released the album “Give Thanks,” and “From The Pen Of Oliver Chapman.”

​

Oliver is very reflective on this new release and approached various genres and explored arrangements bravely with producer and musician, Samuel Archer to create an artistic musical canvas and balance.
