ETM: Hello Oliver!
OP: Good morning ETM!
ETM: Sorry to drag you out of bed so early
OP: [laughs] Don’t worry, don’t worry!
ETM: How are you finding your recent success?
OP: Erm, its wierd man’, so wierd. But i’m loving it and the fans have been amazing, incredible.
ETM: Fantastic! So your second single has just debuted at NO.1 this week, that’s big!
OP: I know I just found out yesterday and I couldn’t believe it.
ETM: So tell ETM and everyone who’s reading this how you got into music...
OP: Sure, erm, i’ve always, always played music, from like when I was a kid, so I knew from the start it was what I wanted to do. I finished school when I was 16 and went to college where I studied Music and Media. On weekends I played in the pubs and did mini gigs wherever would have me. And then one day I got a call from this guy, inviting me to go singfor him, which was really scary but i went, and then he signed me. We worked on some promotional stuff, recorded some material and yeah, everything sort of went from there.
ETM: And now your a big superstar, nominated for a BRIT award I
understand?
OP: Yes! I’m so excited, when I got the call I think I rang everybody in the entire phonebook I was in that much shock. [laughing]. I’m kidding, i’m kidding.
ETM: Out of everything, whats your favourite thing about what you do?
OP: I would have to say the performing, y’know at the moment im getting to do things I never dreamt I would be doing. Meeting the fans is amazing and working with the people I work with is great. Everyday is differnt and each day brings me a new adventure. Im just taking it one day at a time and having the time of my life.
ETM: Well it sounds wonderful, I wish I was you. Now your signed to an independant record label am I right?
OP: [laughs] yeah thats right!
ETM: Cos it’s unusual that someone of your success isn’t of a bigger one.
OP: Erm I suppose, for me I wouldn’t have it any other way. Y’know I get so much freedom and input like you wouldn’t believe whilst still living the lifestyle of someone who was signed to a major one, so its win win.
ETM: And you’re clearly doing fantastic. One last thing, there’s talks about you attempting to make America, again, thats big!
OP: Thankyou. I’ve not actually heard this but one day hopefully. At the moment i’m just concentrating over here and seeing where it takes me, all in good time though.
ETM: It Sounds great, well listen, good luck for the BRIT’s, i’m sure you’ll do great and good luck with the rest of your career. Your’re gonna be a star!
