Get Ready for an Unforgettable Team Bonding Experience
Unleash the power of music to harness your team’s potential with multi-award-winning songwriter Oliver Houser.
Hi there,
I’m Oliver.
Whether you’re looking to align your team over shared values and goals, inspire a thriving, collaborative and joyful team culture, or cultivate a memorable experience that creates lasting change, you’re in the right place.
Most team-bonding events provide generic experiences that leave participants wanting more. Create Your Theme Song is a unique and tailored experience that helps you get the results you’re looking for.
Virtually and in person, from tech startups to nonprofits to healthcare companies and everything in-between, I love seeing teams find the joy in creating an anthem that commemorates what they do and who they are.
Not just any team-building event
“Oliver was wonderful and is so talented!!! The entire experience was great from start to finish. We are a somewhat new team, and the exercise really allowed us to explore what we love about our team, the work we do and how we like and respect each other as colleagues. We definitely bonded yesterday!!”
“The event was incredible. Oliver’s energy, warmth and enthusiasm were infectious, and he brilliantly translated our ideas into a beautiful song. Could not recommend more highly!”
“WOW, that song and your amazing voice & music were an absolute hit! I cannot believe you created that in one hour. Our CEO had the biggest smile on her face! ”
“Oliver was charismatic and welcoming, and made everyone feel welcome to participate. This event is fantastic and perfect for groups of mixed energy- more enthusiastic members can shine and shyer team mates can “enjoy the show” without feeling pressure. The best team building activity I have ever been a part of!”
“One of the best virtual events I’ve ever hosted - Oliver was magic! Engaging and energetic, not to mention insanely talented! Thank you!”
“A great event and very entertaining. Shout out to Oliver for what I believe will be the masterpiece of our Cohort 4.”
”Fantastic event. Fun, engaging, and a great facilitator.”
”Excelente!””
How it Works
Each event is customizable and can be tailored to your team’s individual needs.
First, we’ll enter breakout groups and brainstorm lyric ideas. Next, we’ll come together as a full team and move section by section to craft your unique theme song. Finally, I’ll premier the song for everyone. For especially courageous teams, singing along is encouraged!
After the event, I’ll send a polished mp3 for everyone to enjoy in perpetuity.
Most events last one hour. No singing or songwriting experience is necessary, and everyone is able to participate. You won’t believe what we can create together.
“Oliver came into the event with so much enthusiasm and warmth and made our entire team feel welcome and heard during the creative process. We weren’t sure what we were going to get, but we’re very happy with the process and the product! 10/10 experience!”
“Oliver did a great job drawing out the team for lyrics suggestions, and was amazing at structuring our thoughts into a song format. Impressive!””
“WOW!! What an incredible experience! As a business owner and broker of a small team of 18 real estate agents, we are always looking for ways to strengthen our culture. At our end-of-year Team Advance, we decided to bring in Oliver and his talents to help us build our team’s theme song. This exercise in and of itself was very engaging and fulfilling. We laughed and had a blast writing our theme song! At the end, Oliver sang it back to us while playing his keyboard. It was magical!! Thank you Oliver!!”
“Oliver was fantastic. He is personable and engaging. This was our first virtual team building event and I thought this event could go in one of two directions: 1) massive home run or 2) complete strike out. Oliver absolutely knocked it out of the park! It was exactly what we needed - and we’ll get to relive the fun listening to our theme song in the weeks and months ahead. I would highly recommend!”
“My team had a blast writing a song with Oliver. There’s nothing quite like coming up with rhymes about yourself with your coworkers. We all got into it and everyone contributed a lyric. Now we have an epic team theme song to use self-indulgently as an intro to all our meetings.”
“Oliver was awesome! We had so much fun writing our company song!”
