Artist History Gentry grew up in the small town of Dublin, Georgia only a couple of hours from Atlanta and Savannah. He was hand fed classic southern rock by his father and he still holds those classics amoung his list of influences and favorites. He began taking piano lessons at a young age and also learned to play the saxophone and several other instruments. But it was his love of the guitar that took a forefront in his songwriting progression. He began writing at the age of 15 and after 2 years of writing and playing on his own he began a collaboration with long time friend Ajay Moti. The two began playin and writing together and discovered an amazing chemistry in their songwriting, and after only 6 months they recorded their first full length album under the group name Oliver. As Oliver the two wrote more than 35 songs and recorded two albums, "The Silence is Strange" and "The Xmas EP". After playing together for three years the two decided to work on solo projects but still continue to play shows and write together. Gentry is now living in Nashville Tennessee working exclusively on his music career. He has recorded his fist solo album, "Daydreams", and is pushing it to the public and to labels and producers.
