Oliver Tree Nickell (June 29, 1993 – June 14, 2026) was an American singer-songwriter, rapper, and record producer.[5] Born in Santa Cruz, California, Tree signed to Atlantic Records in 2017 after his song "When I'm Down" went viral. He released his debut studio album Ugly Is Beautiful in July 2020, which included the RIAA gold- and platinum-certified singles "Alien Boy", "Hurt", "Miracle Man" and "Let Me Down". Classified as a "genre-defying musician",[6] he achieved international recognition with his songs "Life Goes On" in 2021 and "Miss You" in 2022.
Tree published his second studio album, Cowboy Tears, in February 2022; his third studio album, Alone in a Crowd, in September 2023; and his fourth studio album, Love You Madly Hate You Badly, in April 2026.
While on his international headline tour for his fourth album, Tree and five other people died in a helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on June 14, 2026. The collision is currently under investigation by Brazilian aviation authorities.
Early life and education
Family and childhood
Oliver Tree Nickell was born on June 29, 1993,[7][8] in Santa Cruz, California. He was the son of Jesse Louis Nickell III, a real estate contractor, and Christine Marie (née Begin).[9] Both of his parents also worked as traveling circus performers.[10] Due to his parents' entertainment careers, Tree spent his early childhood living in a mobile motor home, traveling extensively across the United States before his family settled permanently back in Santa Cruz when he was 12 years old.[11] He grew up surrounded by musical instruments lining the walls of the vehicle, which fostered his early creativity.[10]
Tree began taking classical piano lessons at age three, started writing original compositions at age four, and claimed to have written a full album by the time he was six years old.[12][13] Despite his parents' unconventional circus background, they maintained a structured home environment once settled in Santa Cruz, providing him access to synthesizers, recording equipment, and art supplies that fueled his multidisciplinary interests.[10]
Adolescence and personal struggles
Tree's adolescence was marked by periods of intense personal turmoil. When he was 13 years old, his cousin died from spinal meningitis, an event that significantly impacted his mental health and altered his worldview. He struggled with a severe drug addiction during his early teens and briefly worked as a local drug dealer, which strained family relationships and resulted in him being temporarily kicked out of his family home.[14] During this period of estrangement, Tree turned to creative outlets to cope, ultimately reconciling with his parents after finding stability through local music collectives and athletic competitions.[14][10]
The psychological distress from this era and his existential anxieties surrounding mortality would later become prominent themes across his discography.[14] Tree frequently noted in retrospective media interviews that his teenage experience with isolation directly inspired the conceptual depth of his satirical, antisocial "Turbo" persona, using exaggerated visual aesthetics as a protective shield against personal vulnerability.[11]
Competitive scooter career
"Everyone thought I was a joke when I told them I was going to be a professional scooter rider, and then I became one. Everyone thought I was a joke when I told them I was going to be a musician, and look where we are now."
Alongside his early creative interests, Tree was heavily involved in extreme sports during his youth. He began kick-scootering at a competitive amateur level, eventually securing corporate sponsorships from prominent scooter brands and competing in various events across California.[15] This early athletic career would later heavily inform his eccentric public persona, as he integrated professional scooter stunts, customized oversized models, and extreme sports gear into his major-label music videos and live performances.[11]
By age 18, Tree retired from formal athletic circuits following a succession of severe physical injuries, including a catastrophic crash that resulted in multiple broken bones and joint dislocations.[15] Rather than abandoning the subculture, he redirected his athletic experience into performance art, later breaking a Guinness World Records title in 2020 for designing and riding the world's largest functional kick scooter as a promotional stunt for his debut studio album.[11]
Early musical projects and DJ career
During middle school, Tree picked up the guitar, began singing, and joined a local Santa Cruz ska band called Irony, which provided his first experiences performing live.[16] During his high school years, he transitioned away from ska towards electronic music and hip-hop, often participating in local rap projects and a psychedelic jam band.[13]
He became an active DJ in the local Santa Cruz area under the pseudonym Kryph, focusing primarily on producing dubstep music. During this era, he frequently collaborated with future electronic producer Getter, as well as local artist Minnesota, with whom he co-created the song "Next Level Shit".[13] He also joined a local rap collective called Mindfuck.[15] By age 17, performing as Kryph, he secured slots at electronic music festivals such as Wobbleland 2011 in San Francisco. Under the name Tree, he later opened for touring acts including Skrillex, Zeds Dead, Tyler, the Creator, Nero, and Frank Ocean.[17] His performances during this period were characterized by an eclectic mix of heavy bass genres and indie electronica, establishing his footprint in the Northern California underground dance scene before pivoting to alternative rock songwriting.[13]
Higher education
After graduating from high school, Tree moved to San Francisco to study business at San Francisco State University (SFSU).[18] He attended the institution for two years, utilizing his business classes to better understand media distribution and the logistics of the music industry.[18] While a student, he signed to London-based independent label R&S Records at the age of 18 and released his debut EP Demons in 2013, which gained underground recognition after receiving praise from Thom Yorke of Radiohead.[16]
Following the release, Tree took a brief hiatus to re-evaluate his creative direction, ultimately deciding that a traditional business track did not align with his artistic ambitions. He transferred to the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) to fully commit to music production and performance art.[16] He graduated from CalArts in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in music technology.[19] His academic synthesis of audio engineering, cinematography, and performance composition at CalArts provided the foundation for directing his own elaborate, narrative-driven visual projects under Atlantic Records later in his professional career.[18]
Career
2010–2016: Early career and hiatus
Tree launched his solo recording career as "Tree" in 2010. By then, he had made presentations for performances such as Skrillex and Zedd.[20] He initially self-released his material, independently issuing the album Splitting Branches in early 2013. He sang and played guitar in a ska band called Irony, which was his first experience performing.[21] He produced dubstep for a brief period of time, as well as performed at music festivals such as Wobbleland 2011 in San Francisco.[citation needed]
In August 2013, Tree signed with London-based R&S Records and released his debut extended play (EP), Demons. The EP gained some recognition after Radiohead lead singer Yorke approved of his cover of their song "Karma Police."[22] Tree eventually found himself on hiatus as he went back to school, studying music technology at the California Institute of the Arts.[23][24]
2016–2018: Return to music and Alien Boy
In March 2016, Tree returned to music, being featured on the song "Forget It" by Getter, a part of his EP, Radical Dude![25] In November of that year, he made his television debut, performing on Last Call with Carson Daly.[26]
Shortly after the release of "When I'm Down" by Whethan featuring Tree in October 2016, Tree signed to Atlantic Records.[27][28] That same year, he graduated from the California Institute of the Arts with a Bachelor of Arts in fine arts.[29] On May 26, 2017, he released "Welcome to LA" as his debut single as Oliver Tree.[27] In February 2018, Tree released his major-label debut EP, Alien Boy, along with the double music video for "All That x Alien Boy". Tree wrote and directed the debut, which took over nine months to create.[30][31] He spent five months practicing freestyle monster truck jumping at the Perris Auto Speedway and performed all his own stunts in the music video.[32] Tree played at major festivals including Lollapalooza and Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, and performed as a special guest at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival where he was subsequently named on LA Weekly's "The Best (and Weirdest) Fashion at Coachella" list in 2017.[30][33]
He was the supporting act on Louis the Child's Last to Leave Tour (2017) and[34] Skizzy Mars' Are You OK? Tour (2018),[35] and was scheduled to join Lil Dicky and DJ Mustard on the Life Lessons Tour Fall 2018 before it was canceled.[30] Tree toured North America and Europe with Hobo Johnson in 2018. Tree also wrote, acted, and directed sketches in comedy videos and worked with companies such as Jerry Media.[36]
2018–2020: Ugly Is Beautiful and singles

Throughout 2018 and 2019, Tree released a string of singles that would later appear on his debut studio album, Ugly Is Beautiful. On December 7, 2018, Tree released his second major music video, "Hurt". He traveled to Kyiv, Ukraine to film the video, which he wrote and co-directed with Brendan Vaughan.[37] Tree then embarked on the Ugly Is Beautiful Tour, performing new material including "Joke's On You!" and "Waste My Time". On April 11, 2019, Tree released a standalone single, "Fuck", with the music video dropping on the same day.[38]
His fourth music video and single, "Miracle Man", was released on June 7, 2019, with the video reaching 1.3 million views on its first day. Concurrently, Tree announced his Goodbye Farewell Tour, maintaining a running joke/narrative that he was constantly retiring from the music industry.[39] Tree released his second EP, Do You Feel Me? on August 2, 2019, which received generally positive reviews from critics.[40]
On December 6, 2019, Tree released "Cash Machine" accompanied by a colorful, stunt-heavy music video. Together with the single, Tree officially announced his debut album, Ugly Is Beautiful, originally slating it for a March 27, 2020 release.[41] On March 25, 2020, Tree announced that due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the album would be delayed.[42] On June 8, 2020, Tree announced a second delay out of respect for the protests following the murder of George Floyd, stating he "did not believe it was an appropriate time" to release music when "much bigger things" deserved attention.[43] Ugly Is Beautiful was released on July 17, 2020, debuting at number 14 on the Billboard 200 and hitting number one on the Top Alternative Albums chart.[citation needed]
2023–2026: Alone in a Crowd and Love You Madly Hate You Badly

On March 3, 2023, Tree released his first single of 2023, "Here We Go Again", with DJ and record producer David Guetta. He followed up this release with a single titled "Bounce" released on June 20. The same day, he played a show at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Morrison, Colorado and announced that this song was the first single released that would be featured on his third studio album, Alone in a Crowd.[44] On July 17, Tree announced that his Alone in a Crowd World Tour would occur from October 2023 to February 2024. He would be scheduled to perform in Australia with American rapper Sueco, Europe and the United Kingdom with Tommy Cash, and the United States with rock band Fidlar. On July 21, he released his second single from the album, "One & Only". He collaborated with upcoming underground dance music group Super Computer for his third single, "Essence", which was released on September 1, 2023. On September 15, a fourth single was released, "Fairweather Friends". Alone in a Crowd was released two weeks later on September 29, 2023.[44] In October 2025, Tree released the single "Superhero" as the lead single to his album Love You Madly Hate You Badly.[45]
On April 9, 2026, it was announced that Love You Madly Hate You Badly would be released on April 24, 2026.[46][47] Tree also announced that he had left Atlantic Records to release the album independently under his own imprint, Alien Boy Records. The album was then released on April 24, 2026.[48] On May 4, 2026, Tree announced "The World's First World Tour" (also referred to as the "Love You Madly Hate You Badly" world tour), an ambitious venture scheduled to span seven continents, encompassing over 70 shows across 30 countries throughout the remainder of the year.[49] The tour commenced on May 30, 2026, in Mexico City, with a final performance in São Paulo on June 6.[50][51]
Personal life
Tree and singer-songwriter Melanie Martinez began dating in 2019; the two separated amicably in June 2020.[52] In 2022, Tree publicly stated during an interview on The Impulsive Podcast with Logan Paul that he was "exploring polyamory" and maintained multiple open relationships, though he noted an openness to traditional monogamy if he met the right partner.[52][53]
Death
Background and tour itinerary
In June 2026, Tree traveled to South America as part of his headlining world concert tour supporting his fourth studio album, Love You Madly Hate You Badly, which commenced on May 30 in Mexico City.[54] The ambitious tour was planned to span over 70 scheduled performances across 30 countries and all seven continents, with prospective dates heavily promoted in China, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, and Antarctica.[5]
Following tour stops in Buenos Aires on June 4 and São Paulo on June 6, Tree arrived in Rio de Janeiro.[5] Heavily active on social media in the days before the accident, Tree documented his stay in the city by interacting with locals in a favela, filming himself playing football, and uploading Instagram Stories alongside fellow musicians from a Rio recording studio just hours before his death.[5][55][56]
Helicopter collision
On the morning of June 14, 2026, 15 days before his 33rd birthday, Tree was among the five occupants aboard an Aérospatiale AS350 Ecureuil helicopter, registration PP-MAC, operated by Turfik Comércio de Frutas.[57][58] At approximately 9:00 a.m. local time, the aircraft suffered a mid-air collision with a second helicopter, a Bell 206 JetRanger, registration PR-DJJ, over Recreio dos Bandeirantes, a beachside neighborhood in Rio's West Zone.[55][57] Following the impact, the aircraft crashed into the commercial parking lot of a BYD Auto electric car dealership less than a mile inland, triggering an explosion and a massive fire that destroyed roughly 20 parked electric vehicles before being contained by the Rio de Janeiro Military Fire Department.[55][57]
Casualties and investigation
All six individuals across both aircraft were killed upon impact. Alongside Tree, the casualties inside the AS350 included Argentinian YouTuber Gaspi (Gaspar Prim Díaz), Argentinian film director Lucas A. Vignale, Brazilian music producer Lucas Frota, and pilot Alexandre Souza.[55][59] The sole occupant of the Bell 206, pilot Charles Marsillac, also perished.[57]
While aviation authorities verified Tree's presence on the official flight manifest, local police noted that formal forensic identification required extensive processing due to severe thermal trauma from the post-crash fire.[60] A formal investigation into the causal factors of the collision was opened by the Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA), the Third Regional Service for the Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (SERIPA III), and the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC), with preliminary police inquiries pointing toward human error.[56][57]
Reaction and tributes
Following confirmation of the disaster, extensive public tributes were shared across the entertainment industry. British internet personality, YouTuber, and musician KSI, who collaborated with Tree on the 2023 single "Voices", published an emotional statement on social media characterizing and describing Tree as a "legend" and expressing shock over his sudden, young death at age 32.[60][61]
Additional public condolences and artistic tributes were expressed by prominent peers, friends, and musical collaborators, including his ex-girlfriend Melanie Martinez, Oliver Heldens, T-Pain, Robin Schulz, Bebe Rexha, Kid Cudi, Whitney Cummings, and Diplo.[62][63][64]
Official statements were also issued by state entities and corporate bodies affected by the crash. The acting governor of Rio de Janeiro, Ricardo Couto, issued a public decree expressing solidarity with the families of the victims.[55] Electric vehicle manufacturer BYD published an official corporate statement extending condolences to the victims' loved ones and pledging logical cooperation with local fire and rescue personnel clearing the scene of the crash.[56] Producer Victor Wao revealed he opted out of riding on the helicopter due to a fear of flying and rode in a car instead, ultimately saving his life.[65][66]
