Ollie Brown

Ollie Brown

简介:It’s been almost 4 years since 21-year-old Ollie Brown swapped a cumbersome tuba and a uni degree for a six-string guitar, a notepad and a pen. After a movie script type break, the 6 foot 6 Australian owned the “classic singer songwriter” image as he scribbled, hummed, strummed and busked songs whilst travelling for 6 months in the US only to return as Foyer support for Michael Buble’s 2011 'Crazy Love' Australian tour. So as it was, July this year became the time to record those tales of travels and love on the go so Ollie enlisted the talent of friend and producer Sean Carey (Thirsty Merc) and recorded 8 raw and intimate acoustic tracks for his debut EP release titled Moving On. This honest, organic collection of songs is the result of sleepless nights in transit accompanied by countless shows in both Australia and the U.S and months of living out of the same suitcase. Moving On is filled with unforgettable melodies, well strummed acoustic guitars and warm, rich, soaring falsettos reminiscent of a young Chris Martin. You'll hear echoes of Ryan Adams and James Taylor at a crossroads where David Gray meets John Mayer. From the folk sounding fiddle in 'Midnight Call' to the uplifting soulful outro in 'Don't Change A Thing', Brown experiments with a variety of different genre's colouring each song with it's own identity. "I tend to be influenced by whatever artists or bands that I'm listening to at the time. I remember consuming Bon iver and Ray LaMontagne's first albums before and during the time in the studio, so i think that the intimacy of those two records rubbed off on to the EP." With talent and maturity well beyond his years and an eagerly anticipated 2011/2012 summer tour of Australia, Ollie Brown's music career is in itself Moving On.
