Oliver Mycka

Hey libera-fans,

I have a question: Is Oliver (the one with the long hair) still in the choir? (It is the boy on the calendar cover 2017). In the last time I miss him on the photos... (I meet him in Schoenstadt and he was very friendly...). Best regards Ludwig

Yes, he is still in the choir - and I took the liberty of giving him his own topic and moving your post.

In Schönstadt...

I found a video from the M&G after the concert in Manila in Februar 2016:



Starting from 2:06 Oliver is saying some words in Polish. He took over the usual Alex G's part, as Alex was absent from this tour.

How old is Oliver now?

[gingerthedog1]

He is 10 years old.

I noticed on a Japanese fan's video posted on Twitter, that Oliver is left-handed

(from 0:26)

Thanks for this hint!! Unfortunately is twitter blocked in China (my home)! If somebody find this Video on another site?

Oliver cut his hair after this year's U.S. tour.

@swalker2001 : it is not Oliver M on the photo you posted, it's Oliver W-R.

[TullyBascombe]

Agreed, but Oliver M. has cut his hair.

Agreed, but Oliver M. has cut his hair.

Agreed, but Oliver M. has cut his hair.

I think he looks better with the haircut. The long hair looked good while he was still little. His hair was still long during the USA 2018 tour.

Thought it was time to pay Oliver a small tribute, as he seems to have left the choir. I think the Christmas concert in 2019 was his last appearance.
I loved witnessing his development as the soloist of Stay With Me. That song will remain ‘his song’, as far as I’m concerned. He sang it for a really long time, through 2018 and 2019 (but I believe he started even before then), and grew in confidence, phrasing and colour each time. I felt he nailed it in Osaka, his last Stay With Me, as it turned out to be.
He always seemed genuinely into the moment, both on and off stage. A kind of introvert appearance, which belied a deeper sensitivity and dynamics.
I wish him all the best and pray that the fruits of his musical career will be plentiful.
