David Matthew Olson is a creative and American refugee living in Stockholm, Sweden.
He started doing comedy as a high schooler sneaking into L.A. bar shows and making semi-viral comedy videos in the early days of YouTube, then became disillusioned with his wide-eyed Hollywood dreams shortly after finishing college and moved to Sweden.
Dr. Olson (his rap name) was classically trained in the dark arts of Marketing & Media Management at Handelshögskolan (Stockholm School of Economics), where he received a Master’s degree before putting his secret Illuminati business knowledge to work as Creative Director at Rebtel for 3 years. During this time (which scholars refer to as “the Blue Period”), he also launched his own fake high-fashion brand / conceptual art project, “future garbage by Future Garbáge.”
In 2019, he went freelance to focus on writing, directing, and producing “Dirty Machines: The End of History” — an independent TV pilot for an intellectual property about time travel — which became a Vimeo Staff Pick, Short of the Week selection, and is now being developed with some very important people in Hollywood.
David’s work has been featured in Adweek, Creativity, Huffington Post, Boooooooom, The Drum, Vulture, Fashionista, and probably some other websites.
He is open to exchanging his goods and services for cold, hard cash at any opportunity, whether legal or otherwise.
He paid someone in a third-world country a fair-trade wage to write this third-person website bio about him.
