Hi, I’m Olly and I’m 16 years old and I’m from Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands.

I’ve been playing drums since the age of seven, and I attend the Birmingham Ormiston Academy of Performing Arts, where I am studying the Music Performance Pathway.

I play drums with the rock band “Red By Night”, and we are currently working with the Grammy Award-winning producer for Black Sabbath, Mike Exeter, which is an amazing experience. I absolutely love playing live, and my band plays gigs regularly all over the UK.

I listen to all types of music, but my main passion is Rock, Progressive Rock and Metal. My influences are Art Cruz, Stewart Copeland, James Owen Sullivan (The Rev), Jeff Porcaro, Craig Blundell, Gavin Harrison, Travis Barker, Phil Collins, Neil Peart and Mike Portnoy.

I love the UK Drum Show and can’t wait to see you all there!
