Worldview is the alias of Oliver Shaw, an Oxford UK-based songwriter, performer and producer fusing rock, pop and dance sounds with insightful lyrics. Oliver began playing in bands, including one with Coldplay’s bassist-to-be, then spent several years honing a one-man band approach in his studio, writing, singing and playing everything. He self-released a debut album ‘War Years’ in late 2002. A second set ‘Paying For It’ followed in January 2005. Oliver then adopted a new format as Worldview, releasing the album ‘Our Condition’ in 2008. The track ‘Entitlement’ was later featured in the major BBC drama The Driver in 2014. 2009’s single ‘Party’s Over’ featured on the diverse album ‘Schoolboy Errors’, released in February 2012. Other album highlights were aired on radio shows and podcasts worldwide. Now largely a studio act, Worldview’s new 2014 album ‘Pop Philosophy’ is a reflection on life, loss and mortality in melodic, guitar-led rock songs with elements of electro, folk and funk.
