Jamie Oliver

Jamie was also the Keyboard Player, synthesizer and founding member of the Welsh/American Alternative Rock Band No Devotion whose debut Album was released September 2015 and won the Kerrang! Award for best Album. He departed the band in 2017 to focus on his Art career.

Oliver currently resides in Los Angeles, a few streets away from bandmate Mike Lewis, with his wife and sons, his second son being born in early February 2013 link broken.

The band have stated that Oliver was only added to the band so he could go on tour with them as a photographer, for they were impressed by his work. The band asked their management if they could bring Oliver on tour with them in 2000. They were told they couldn't afford to take someone who wasn't part of the band or their crew with them, so Oliver bought a set of turntables and quickly learnt what he needed to play. It is unclear how this occurrence coincides with ex-turntablist DJ Stepzak's departure from the band. As the band themselves worked on the remastered The Fake Sound of Progress, it can be assumed that the notably larger changes in the turntable and sample parts (recorded by Stepzak) compared to the other instruments is due to Oliver's influence on the record. It is likely some samples and scratches added to the remastered edition were recorded by Oliver, but this cannot be known for certain.

Richard James Oliver (born 16 July 1975) is a Welsh musician and artist. He is known as the former keyboardist of No Devotion and former keyboardist, turntablist and supporting vocalist for the Welsh rock band Lostprophets.
