In a few more words:
Born in Brussels, Oliver Ghnassia-Langbord aka Oliver Lord is a French-Belgian and British singer and songwriter living London. Coming from a family of artists; his grandma Monique taught him the piano and his sister Blanche made a huge success at Eurovision Song Contest 2017, he grew up surrounded by studies, music and travels.
At 18, he goes to London to study English and takes musical singing courses at The Conservatoire of Blackheath, then at 19, takes part in the international singing contest “Hallelujah”, where he ends up second at the broadcasted grand final.
A year later, he is selected by the singer Lio on The Voice Belgique. Not long after, he integrates the musical Piano-Plage, played in Belgium and France for over a year. At that time, he started dubbing French opening themes and songs in cartoons (Disney, Mattel, Pokémon,… to name just a few of them).
In 2014, Oliver released his debut album Twenty Deux, a project recorded over the course of a year in studios across seven countries — including the USA 🇺🇸 , Canada 🇨🇦, Belgium 🇧🇪, Israel 🇮🇱, France 🇫🇷, Brazil 🇧🇷, and the UK 🇬🇧. Supported and encouraged by Céline Dion herself, the album opened doors for him to perform internationally in Brazil, the USA, Italy, Spain, Israel, Belgium, and France. The following year, in 2015, he released the single מחר (Mach’ar), a Hebrew adaptation of his successful French song Demain.
In 2017, Oliver releases a new single Got to be there featuring 3 producers/deejays.
The song gets in the Belgian UltraTop charts thanks to its wide broadcast on radio, live performances in major festivals, and reposts of the track by several international deejays (Wolfpack, Tiësto, and Steve Aoki).
After many shows in Brazil between 2013 and 2018, Oliver is invited again to perform in the northern state of Ceara in January 2019.
“Fortaleza” is his first ever song in Brazilian Portuguese, in honour to the city of Fortaleza, he fell in love with.
The single “Fortaleza” is released in January 2019 with a video clip shot on the beaches of the city.
Today, Oliver performs regularly as a jazz resident at the Royal Over-Seas League in London, is the lead singer of the ’80s tribute band Miami Vibe, and collaborates with trusted wedding and events bands in the UK and abroad. In 2024, he published his first book, a biography, and he is currently preparing both a second album and a tribute show dedicated to Céline Dion.
