Olly Chamberlain

Olly Chamberlain, a talented singer songwriter from London, England, has covered many popular songs on his YouTube channel, including his most recent upload 'Leave Your Lover', originally by the brilliant Sam Smith. In uploading these video's Olly has developed a growing fan base, with over 3,500 subscribers and over 300,000 views. A powerful, dynamic vocal ability along with a strong artistic flair makes Olly a musician to look out for. Already gaining a celebrity fan base from the likes of Stephen Fry he is sure to be a hit in the not so distant future.

When I caught up with Olly recently, he had this to say:

"For me, it all starts with family. I grew up in a house of music. My earliest memory even involves music, singing in a church choir when I was 5. My brother and I used to improvise on clarinets and saxophones while my dad would play a slow 12 bar blues. Music is everything to me. In my last year of uni, I started uploading cover videos onto YouTube. My first cover, Usher's Climax now has 135,000 views. Since then I've been gigging around the London scene and finding out what else is out there. Most of my time now is dedicated to songwriting. There's quite a lot I'd like to say and I'm planning on making as much noise as possible."

With a lot of original songs being written as well as covers being recorded, I'm sure there are big plans for Olly, check back here for news on latest release's and potential live dates over the summer.
