Stonevalley

Olivier was born in 1982 in the north of France. Having noticed their son's passion for music, his parents bought him his first keyboard when he was 10 years old and offered him some piano lessons for 2 years. He continued playing the piano alone after quitting from taking lessons, and in 1996 he started making his own sounds while also discovering trance music in the same period. In 2002 Olivier got his first DJ residence in a small club next to his hometown, and earned enough money to buy himself the required hardware for his own music studio and consequently his music productions. One year later he entered an audition through which he was selected to join the music school of "Centre des Musiques Actuelles de Valenciennes", where he later received his diploma as a professional pianist! His career started in 2005 with "Fast Distance" when after nearly 2 years of hard work they signed some of their productions on famous labels such as Armada Music , Monster Tunes, Baroque, Cloud 9 and their tracks are supported by the world biggest DJ's including Armin Van Buuren, Tiësto, Paul Van Dyk, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten and many others. Olivier also collaborates on some productions with talented artists such as Roger Shah and Fred Baker. After 2 years of success, Fast Distance decided to split after taking different musical ways. 2010 saw the new turn for Olivier by launching his new project Stonevalley and joining force of the UK Label Enhanced Rec. aside of Will Holland, Ferry Tayle, Suncatcher, Temple One & more. His release Winter & Lost Without You, was massively supported by Above & Beyond on Trance Around The World, Armin Van Buuren on ASOT, and dropped by Ferry Tayle at Trance Energy, With more productions & remixes. Olivier is with no doubt, one of the guys to keep eyes on for the year to come. Read more on Last.fm.
