Marc Olivers new Country songs came to life after the mother to his daughter took her away from him.
“I have made some heart-felt songs about what happened with my daughter” says Marc Oliver, the 31-year old artist who is ready with new songs like How Much Longer, Heartache and the title-song Help Me Believe.
“My daughter told me she missed me, and thats when I wrote How Much Longer. It is about how long this has to go on, and that Daddy is working hard to see you again” Marc says.
“It is said that Country music is four chords and the truth, and I went with that. Regardless of age or background, everyone can relate to missing, loving or loosing somebody.”
“Regardless of age or background everyone can recognise the feeling of loving or missing somebody.”
Marcs musical rolemodels are Country artists like Luke Combs, Mitchell Tenpenny and Brad Paisley, who also sang about his daughter, and Paisley was a huge inspiration.
“It is not a widely popular genre in Denmark, but it is huge in Nashville and Texas. It is “Radio Rock”, and the stereotypical audience is definitely middle-aged women.” says Marc Oliver laughing.
Marc has a Bachelor's degree in Music Production from England, so his songs are mostly recorded in his own studio. “The guitars were recorded in my bathroom, because of the tiled walls the acoustic in that room was amazing.”
Marc wrote, recorded and mixed the majority of his songs, only the drums needed some assistance from his buddy at Heyman Studios, who is also a big fan of the Nashville Country Rock genre.
The mother ran off with their daughter
It took a year to record the album during the COVID lockdown, Corona and the trauma that has rooted itself in him, since his ex girlfriend took their daughter back to England two years ago, Marc tells me over a cup of coffee at the recording studio Baby Factory.
Whilst Marc Oliver sits with his visible tattoos and his sunglasses on, talks about his heartbreaking experience, it is clear to see his mouth shivering and his voice breaking, showing how deeply this has shaken his core.
In November 2019 his British girlfriend was taking their daughter to the UK on holiday, so she could get well and their daughter could see the british side of the family. But neither the the mother or the daughter returned.
“It was a lonely Christmas, you can imagine.”
The album “Help Me Believe” by Marc Oliver was released in January on M2 Records, and can be heard on all streaming services.
