About Me
​Ollie (he/him) is originally from South Leicestershire. After 3 years studying for a BA (Hons) Musical Theatre degree in the East End, he now resides in London.
​
​An enthusiastic and versatile performer who specialises in singing and acting and considers himself a mover as opposed to full-on dancer.
Ollie's fascination with musical theatre began age 9 when he was cast as Bugsy in a Pauline Quirke Academy performance of Bugsy Malone in Leicester.
Age 13, he had the privilege of performing in a musical production of Tess of the D'Urbervilles with British Youth Music Theatre in a run of 8 shows at The Other Palace Theatre, London. He played Tess’s ‘drunken’ father singing the solo “Limbo” written by Pippa O’Leary - bit.ly/LimboTes
Ollie says: "That incredible ‘off West End’ experience was the spark that lit my desire and determination to pursue a career in singing and acting professionally on stage".
​
Since then he's focused his studies on the Performing Arts achieving a distinction for the UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performing & Production Arts, before embarking on his musical theatre degree.
​
Ollie continuously strives to hone his craft through private singing lessons, mentoring and attending industry workshops. He's performed in numerous college and University musical productions spanning a variety of roles from youthful to more mature characters. For his University final year show he is the understudy for Frederick Frankenstein in their 'Young Frankenstein' performance.
Wholeheartedly committed to bringing depth and authenticity to every role he takes on, he takes every opportunity he can to see West End and touring musicals.
Primarily a tenor, Ollie says: "I pride myself on my vocal confidence and adaptability, bringing power and nuance to every song. The range of roles I’ve undertaken coupled with my ability to deeply connect with characters, has shaped me into a dynamic performer capable of bringing both vocal prowess and dramatic depth to any project".
