Oliver Richman Sings of Hope in His New Song BELIEVE

16-year-old actor and recording artist, Oliver Richman's (www.oliverrichman.com) new song and video "Believe" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIZ21briWaw) offers a profound expression of hope in response to these increasingly troubled times.

The poignant, inspirational piano-driven ballad was written in the wake of recent tragic events by Oliver's mother, veteran performer and musical producer Lisa Dawn Miller (www.lisadawnmiller.com), with her songwriting and producing partner Mark Matson.

Its lyric conveys a message about the power we have to overcome darkness if we come together in a spirit of love: "Believe in our tomorrow/If we believe in who we are/Then the dream of no more sorrow/Can never really be that far..."

"I wanted to focus on the positive...on our resolve. I truly believe that nothing can overpower the strength and power of love," says Miller. "During troubled times, we have always come together to stand up against injustice and darkness. Our faith and belief in who we are as a people has always prevailed - as the truth always does. Oliver has so much sensitivity in his voice and at the same time, he has the definitiveness and confidence to inspire hope and courage," she adds. "We feel so fortunate to have Oliver convey our message in such a passionate and incredibly heartfelt way."

Oliver loves school and is an Honors student in Los Angeles, making education his priority. He has won multiple awards in both the Drama and Shakespeare Festivals.

He is currently enrolled in AP English Language, one of his favorite classes. He created a clever and unique rap song, "Diagramming Club," (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up0cimFsHT8) written by Miller and Matson, and shot a video extolling the unique virtue of sentence diagramming and how easy and fun it can be to learn about grammar.

In 2014, Oliver released a special EP honoring the 50th Anniversary of "For Once in My Life," written by his grandfather, legendary songwriter, Ron Miller, who passed away in 2007. Recorded by over 400 major label artists, including music icons Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, "For Once In My Life" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2009. For the Special 50th Anniversary recording, Oliver included the rarely heard intro music, which was written by his late grandmother,

Aurora Miller.

Oliver continued in his grandfather's footsteps with his release of Miller's classic, "Heaven Help Us All" in 2015. Richman spoke with the Huffington Post about what an honor it is and how grateful he is to carry the torch in honor of his grandfather's legacy.
