His honest and carefully crafted lyrics, paired with the raw emotion in his vocals help to narrate Ollie's journey through life.

Born in Winchester, Hampshire Ollie started his career on YouTube by posting acoustic folk-pop covers of popular songs alongside making vlogs. It wasn't long before Ollie began to earn a following online and at the age of 17, he released his first single, 'Free' into the world, written as a tribute and legacy to his late brother, Ben.


He has since gone on to write and release a catalogue of material and finally found his breakthrough in 2020 with his independently released single, 'Love's Mistake' becoming his most successful single to date. Having toured at a national level, Ollie Wade has headlined venues such as London's 'The Borderline'; played at 'CarFest'; supported the likes of Tom Odell, Andy Burrows and KT Tunstall and has even played an intimate show for The Duchess, Kate Middleton.


Growing up to the likes of Jack Johnson and Damien Rice and taking inspiration from artists such as Ed Sheeran, James Bay and Dermot Kennedy, Ollie found his way home into the UK Singer-Songwriter scene. With acoustic routes, contemporary production and a talent for storytelling - Ollie brings a fresh sound into the industry.
