Career

He debuted with a major role in the 2007 Swedish film Ciao Bella directed by Iranian-Swedish director Mani Maserrat-Agah. In the film he was credited with his birth name Oliver Wahlgren-Ingrosso. He played the role of Enrico, a young Italian football player who befriends Mustafa, a Swedish footballer of Iranian descent played by Poyan Karimi and trains Mustafa to "become" Massimo, just for the aim of attracting girls attending an international football tournament.[1]

Using a shortened name Oliver Ingrosso, he started a musical career being a DJ in Progressive house music releasing an EP titled iTrack with Tim Berg (better known as Avicii) and Otto Knows and has appeared with well-known DJs like Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Swedish House Mafia, Adrian Lux, Mandy and Adam Beyer.[2] A great influence on him for pursuing a music career was the success of his cousin Sebastian Ingrosso, a long time member of Swedish House Mafia since 2005 and that opened up a lot of opportunities for Oliver Ingrosso. He has DJed in a great number of venues locally in Sweden and internationally in Toronto, New York, Brazil and Spain.[3]
