Nicolas Allard alias Olvo

Under Olvo's cap, the story of a young boy who discovers a passion for music thanks to the cassettes he receives from his elders. He decides to broaden his musical horizons and expand his collection by dedicating himself to mixing, after breaking his piggy bank to buy two turntables.

It's only a small step from listening to producing, which the artist took early on, while continuing his DJ activity. Now a pianist, trained in classical music and electronic production, he has expanded his range of activities by constantly acquiring new skills.

A lover of swaying, sparkling melodies, where danceable basses mix with enchanting strings, he blends genres with a personal style and a penchant for sonic journeys without a defined format. Exploring hybrid territories on the borders of hip-hop, electro and film scores, his music goes far beyond the electronic framework.

Discovered by the radar of the JauneOrange collective (Cocaine Piss, Glass Museum, Girls In Hawaïï), the artist revealed himself on Belgian and international stages (Dour, Les Ardentes, Cabaret vert, Couleur Café, Reflektor, Apcm Ottawa, etc.), sharing the stage with artists like Tourist UK, Myth Sizer, Addisson Groove or Débruit.

His album “Limitless Possibilities” reveals the multiple facets of this versatile composer. A luminous debut where the Belgian producer pushes the boundaries of modern pop alongside brilliant artists such as Magic Malik (Air, Camille, Oumou Sangaré), Témé Tan and Canadian singer Claire Morrison.

Solo or through the various collectives of which he is a member (Humarka, Drash), he regularly collaborates with artists, musicians, rappers, choreographers and video artists on a wide variety of projects.

In recent years, however, his personal work has taken a more committed turn. Always questioning his role as an artist, he has decided to defend the beauty of nature and biodiversity through his album "Continuum", available in the fall of 2025.
