More than Music - Ollie the Artist
Ollie is a melodic hip-hop artist whose honest, introspective songs have quietly built a devoted following across North America and beyond. Raised in a small town outside Toronto, he began writing lyrics as a form of therapy—turning struggles with heartbreak, anxiety, and self-doubt into music that speaks to anyone looking for genuine connection. By blending emotive rap flows with soulful hooks, Ollie has shaped a raw, confessional style that balances vulnerability and hope, wrapped in personal storytelling.
