Oliver Hill is a songwriter, producer, string arranger, multi-instrumentalist, and film composer based in Los Angeles.
He has written string arrangements for artists such as Dirty Projectors, Helado Negro, Kevin Morby, Wet, Broken Bells, Cassandra Jenkins, Benjamin Booker, Sam Evian, and Vagabon, along with touring regularly as a violist, pianist, and guitarist.
His former band Pavo Pavo released two records to critical acclaim: 2016's Young Narrator in the Breakers ("a real gem ... undoubtedly hip yet simultaneously geeky," AllMusic) and 2019's Mystery Hour (“a quietly poetic record that explores the stuff of life, love, and loss with a clear head,” Pitchfork).
Oliver is currently one-third of the songwriting collective Coco, who's 2021 debut amassed millions of Spotify streams and was described as "bold, striking pop that seems to be filtered in from another dimension" (CLASH). He also releases songs and instrumental music under the name Dustrider.
As a film composer, he recently scored Haroula Rose’s feature All Happy Families, starring Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother, Fleishman is in Trouble) and Becky Ann Baker (Freaks and Geeks, Girls).
He studied music at Yale University and currently serves as the choral conductor for his family’s chamber music summer camp Music at Port Milford.
