BIO:
Carving his place in the Australian music scene with a spirited blend of alt-rock, 2000s punk energy, and recognisable storytelling, Ollie Twohill is becoming ‘an artist you should know about’. Ollie Twohill released his debut EP ‘Calamity!’ this past month which has captured the ears of listeners and radio programers across Australia, Europe, US and the UK through successful playlist and radio campaigns.
With close to 10,000 streams within it's first week of release, Ollie has been overwhelmed by the support for his debut EP and has backed it up with a series of live shows across NSW and Queensland.
“People have quickly begun to gravitate to Ollie due to his unique ability to connect with listeners on an immensely deep level through his lyrics and soundscapes.” - Gifted Balanced Records
Ollie is recognised for his ability to communicate through narrative in his songs as well as his high energy live performance. Ollie has recently played some local music festivals including Rattled (Gold Coast), Wish You Were Here Festival (Brisbane), AACTA Festival (Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts), Winter Solstice Festival (Gold Coast) and has been awarded the winning position in Den Devine’s Battle of the Bands for Original Music. Ollie is an active participant in the growing local music scene on the Gold Coast and is always on the lookout for young artists who he can mentor, teach and encourage.
“Ollie has a kind heart and it shows through the way he interacts with people in all stages of the music industry. His passion for music is contagious and his energy on stage is incomparable. It is an honour to be a part of Ollie’s team.” - Kirsty Abrahams, Konnection Artist Assistance.
