Biography
Born in Brussels, Belgium, Olivier Desmet launched his career in the music business working as A&R and promotions manager for the Afterhours Music label in Chicago. During his stay in Chicago, Olivier began producing music under the guidance of respected Chicago artist Mazi (aka Audio Soul Project). An offer to manage the world-renowned Moulton Studios facility for Jay-J and Chris Lum prompted Olivier to move to San Francisco in February 2002.

Olivier has also produced and remixed over 30 records for top labels such as Aroma, Siesta Music, Amenti Music, Nightshift, Odds & Ends, and Tango Recordings. His productions have been favorites with top jocks such as Mark Farina, DJ Heather, Derrick Carter, Raoul Belmans, and Fred Everything. Oh Dee's collaborated on many productions with Chuck Diesel, and has also worked on projects with DJ Spettro, Daniell Spencer, Ken from East Coast Boogiemen, Oriental Funk Stew, Joey Youngman and Demarkus Lewis. His productions have appeared on countless mix CDs, including Farina's “Live @ OM” CD, and Heather's “Fabric 21” disk.

Currently, Olivier lives and works in San Francisco where he runs his label Amenti Music, one of the most respected imprints in the business. After sixteen releases, Amenti continues to gain popularity thanks to stellar offerings by artists such as Swirl Peepz, ECB, JT Donaldson, Inland Knights, LawnChair Generals, and many others.

Olivier launched Developed Music, an Amenti sublabel, and is also co-owner and full time buyer for primalrecords.com, an established online record shop based in the San Francisco bay area.
