"If only you knew..."

About Me

Remember that movie where the guy named Noah built the beautiful dream house just knowing that it would bring Ally back to him? Wasn't that beautiful? Noah held on no matter how much money he was offered, and in the end it all worked out. Life is beautiful and so is love. No matter what tragedies some people go through in this world, the ones that have known true love are better off than those who never felt tragedy, but never felt love either. I am too proud to say the name of the movie, but I am building my dreamhouse and waiting.

Here is MY ADIDAS "COMMERCIAL" posted here on YouTube for your pleasure.

This is me with my R&B Dance Band playing some Pussycat Dolls, R. Kelly etc etc - and they say I don't like dance music, pfffft!

Here's some badly filmed footage/clippage of me jamming R&B/Dance tunes with my group Hindsite

My Interests

Olin / London77 @ Sidewalk NYC performing "Esperanza"

Check out the London77 Music video for "Slave to the Rhythm" - this is the ROUGH CUT, the final will be done soon, with LOTS MORE footage!

"Here's a YOUTUBE! Clip of Olin / London77's music video for "Slave to the Rhythm". This is a ROUGH EDIT, most of the footage not in yet! Enjoy!"

Here's me (Olin) in the video for New Found Glory's "Failure's Not Flattering (What's Your Problem?" (Universal Music Group). I am the dark haired guy trying to "catch them in a cup". It's all green screen tricks - fun stuff! I was also in the "MTV Making the Video" segment for the video.

Influences: Lenny Kravitz, Aerosmith, Queens of the Stone Age, EMILY, Cheap Trick, Sex Pistols, Prince, D'Angelo, Jimi Hendrix, Sting, Rod Stewart, Jet, Avenged Sevenfold, Hendrix, The White Stripes, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Sly and the Family Stone, Bros. Johnson, Led Zeppelin, T. Rex, Van Halen, Buckcherry, Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon, The Bear

Me rocking out some guitar licks - Led Zeppelin stuff, etc.

Sounds Like: Prince meets Lenny Kravitz. A live show with flare, definitely showcasing the fiery influence of sexualized high energy rock.Live, London77 / Olin playing Solo Acoustic at a pretty little dive in the Northern Liberties of Philadelphia. Enjoy the low lighting =)
