More About Oli

Oli lives in Bristol with his family and spends most of his time outside work trying to keep up with two energetic young children. Weekends usually involve long walks, bike rides and the occasional attempt at DIY. 

Earlier in life he was heavily involved in BMX racing and spent several years DJing, playing across local venues and events. These days the bike rides are calmer and the music tends to be played in the kitchen while cooking rather than in clubs. 

When time allows, he still enjoys discovering new music, getting outdoors and finding small projects around the house that may or may not get finished.
