Ollie – or “Ollie Raps” – writes hip-hop about life’s failures, heartbreaks and mental health. With a urgent message of hope and the belief that you can get through even the most difficult periods of your life, Ollie paves a musical path of heavy beats, light piano, falling notes and heart-wrenching lyrics that has taken him far already.

With minimal marketing spend and a consistent flow of content, the Canadian rapper has carved out a career in real DIY style. His monthly Spotify listenership is ticking over 400,000 and several of Ollie's singles have more than 17 million streams. He has released four albums, all of which are filled with honest stories that speak directly to the rapper's ever-growing and loyal fan base of millennials and Gen Zs.

Ollie began his career on YouTube, where he promoted upcoming artists and eventually began releasing his own music on the channel as a form of therapy, where he processed and reflected on his own experiences - including facing adversity and standing up for who you are.

Ollie describes himself as “the guy next door” and draws on a wide range of inspiration from his small-town upbringing south of Toronto.
