Hey, I’m Olie, a multidisciplinary artist, singer, and creative entrepreneur. I’ve spent most of my life using art and music to make sense of the world, to process what I feel, what I witness, and everything in between. Art has always been at the core of who I am, that path has taken shape in many ways, through sound, visuals, collaboration, and creative work that doesn’t always fit into a box.
Whether I’m leading a session, performing, filming, designing, or working behind the scenes, my goal is the same: to create work that feels honest, present, and alive. I care about the process. About building real connection, meeting people where they are, and helping them tap into something that lasts.
I was born outside of Philly but spent most of my childhood moving between areas outside of Boston, MA, Barrington, RI and different areas of Pennsylvania. As a kid, I served as a youth representative at the United Nations, an experience that shaped how I view global connection and purpose. I studied music, theatre, and spiritual philosophy in college, and during that time was invited to tour and record in Ireland with an Irish singer alongside my chorale group. At 19 years old I moved to New York, and from 2015 to 2020, NYC became my home, the place where I came to find myself and gain a new sense of independence. During that time, I worked in film and television (law and order SVU, the get down, etc.), directed theatre productions, led children’s choirs, and took on band directing roles that deepened my love for artistic collaboration. I also spent time living and exploring culture in Israel and Jordan before relocating to Miami in 2021, where I lived off and on for five years while traveling and camping across the U.S. and Mexico. In 2022, I had the opportunity to open for The Wailers in Tampa, a performance that reminded me how powerful live music can be in bringing people together. Through it all, one thing has stayed constant: my belief that art - when shared with intention has the power to connect us across cultures, borders, and lived experience.
These days I’m based in Cleveland, continuing to grow my work, expand my creative network, and build something meaningful with every project I take on. If something here resonates with you, I’d love to connect - whether it’s to create, collaborate, or simply share space. You are welcome here. Come as you are.

The Story Behind the Work
Freedom.
I've spent the last decade learning what it really takes to make a living from your art. Not just creating but building the systems that make it sustainable. Marketing, content, visibility, income streams.... it's all part of it. But I didn't always know that.
I grew up around struggle. I know what it's like to have nothing. To navigate instability, poverty, even homelessness, and still carry a vision. So many artists and dreamers like me never get a chance. They don't get a map or someone to show them the way. That's who I'm here for.
Whether it's a young creative who needs a push, a parent building something for their kids, a business owner trying to build freedom for their family, or someone who just needs someone to believe in them, I want to help. I want to help you build real systems for freedom. I want to create opportunities, not just for myself, but for all of us.
That's my mission.
