Biography
An established and charismatic performer, Ollie Chapman sings his heart out, bashing away at his guitar, at many high profile venues, providing entertainment for private, corporate and festival events. His enthusiastic performances and seasoned stage presence has taken him across Europe and the Middle East, with highlights at the Dubai Tennis Stadium, Virgin Radio’s RedFestDXB (as headline support act for Stormzy), Expo 2020, the Formula One Grand Prix three years running, and the opening act for the first edition of Sofar Sounds Dubai.
As well as exhibiting a diverse set of British Pop / Rock and acoustic ballads, Ollie frequently showcases his original music on national UK, US, and UAE radio shows; Virgin Radio, Dubai Eye, Pulse FM, Amazing Radio, and SiriusXM Shade45 (the leading US Hip Hop talk show).
