He played on Ferry's 2007 solo album Dylanesque and was the principal guitarist on the 2010 Olympia, which also featured players such as David Gilmour, Nile Rodgers, Johnny Greenwood and Phil Manzanera. He toured with The Bryan Ferry Orchestra in 2013 for The Jazz Age. When asked in a 2013 interview about his favorite guitarists to work with, Ferry said,

Oliver was given his first guitar at 13 and soon started playing in his first band White Vinyl (2003–2007). He then started the band Rubber Kiss Goodbye (2008–2011) where he was the singer, songwriter and guitarist. The latter also included Bryan Ferry's son Tara Ferry on drums and Peter Perrett Jr. (previously of the band Babyshambles) on bass. Festival appearances for Rubber Kiss Goodbye included the 2009 SXSW in Austin, Texas The Great Escape Festival (2010) in Brighton, England, and the Lodestar Festival in Cambridgeshire, England (2011).

In 2013, he started his first solo project, under his first two names Ollie Forrest. He launched his first single in London on June 20, 2014, featuring the songs "Gun To Your Baby" and "Wild's Rent".
