He says: "As a kid, I was always fascinated by the drums when I first saw my dad's friend playing his. At that young age, I asked him to teach me a beat and from there I carried on and taught myself.

"Later on in life, I found myself meeting up with other kindred spirits and forming a band, until I eventually moved on to college to join a music performance course. I found that whenever I was playing an instrument, I could escape from the world. Because of this feeling, I became really passionate about music and spent a long time developing my craft.

"During my time there, I expanded my skills and started singing, playing the guitar and piano. Just about any instrument I could get my hands on was interesting to me and there were great teachers around willing to show me what was possible. I decided to continue my education at the Bristol Institute of Modern Music.

"When I graduated, I realised that although I had all this education, I really hadn't experienced music from around the world so I took this time to travel. Travel taught me to be more independent and showed me how the world sees me as a person. Through this, I captured my thoughts in music, took my guitar on a trip to France to work during the ski season and started to write new material."

Since then, Olly has visited places such as Australia, Thailand and Ibiza and intends on returning to help his dad conduct business in India!
